The rate of reaction increases to counter the action of removing heat.

Explanation: The reaction between zinc and hydrogen chloride produces zinc chloride, hydrogen gas, and heat. The reaction is exothermic reaction. Heat is produced in the reaction. It means the temperature of system increase when reaction proceeds. When heat is removed from system, it stimulates the reaction to fast to produce more heat. Due to fast reaction rate of reaction increases.
