A zinc chloride solution (ZnCl2) is prepared by reacting zinc carbonate with dilute hydrochloric acid, write the balanced equation for this reaction

ZnCO3 + 2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2O + CO2
Student must be aware of the formula for a carbonate (CO3) and how to balance the equation. I leave the balancing to the end to make sure I have written the equation correctly otherwise it is easy to confuse yourself.
