How do I calculate the amount of zinc?

The task is:

Calculate the amount of zinc that can be dissolved in 75 ml of hydrochloric acid (c= 0.1 mol/l).

So far I have only the reaction equation with:

Zn + 2HCl —> H2 + ZnCl2

But I don't know how to proceed with the calculations. It would be great if you could please explain to me what I should do next.

Thank you in advance for the answers

You’ve got the reaction equation, right?

After that it goes to the quantities. In 75 ml hydrochloric acid with 0.1 mol/l, how much mol of HCl are? The result by 2 then yields the number of moles of zinc. The mass of zinc multiplied by the molar mass of zinc yields zinc.
