What is the classification for the unbalanced reaction: $F e (s) + H C l (a q) \to F e C l_{3} (a q) + H_{2} (g)$ $Fe(s) + HCl(aq) -> FeCl_3(aq) + H_2(g)$ ?

I go with Michael one this, but if we are just looking to classify it, it would be single replacement (or single displacement, if you prefer).

Even though the reaction may not work as written, it follows the general form

$A + B C \to A B + C$ $A+BC rarr AB+C$

What is the classification for the unbalanced reaction: Fe(s)+HCl(aq)→FeCl3(aq)+H2(g)Fe(s) + HCl(aq) -> FeCl_3(aq) + H_2(g)?
