Detailed Solution

Solubility of ZnS is relatively higher than the sulphides of group II. So a high concentration of S^-2 ions is required to cause the precipitation. If HCl is already present then the dissociation of H₂S will be greatly suppresed due to common ion effect. As a result enought S^-2 ions are not there to cause the precipitation.
