Answer:

A. H2O

Explanation:

The balanced ionic equation for the reaction is:

[tex]Zn^{2+} + 2H^{+} NO_{3} ^{-1}[/tex] → [tex]Zn^{2+} (NO_{3} )^{-1} _{2} + H^{2+} _{2}[/tex]

This implies that the products of the reaction are zinc nitrate and hydrogen gas only.

Therefore, the outlier from the options is water (H2O)
