Does a reaction occur when an aqueous solution of nicl2 (aq) is added to a test tube containing strips of metallic zinc?

To know if a reaction would occur, we refer to the reactivity series. Looking at the reactivity series, the zinc is at the upper list than nickel, therefore we could say that a reaction would occur. This would actually be a replacement reaction:

NiCl2 + Zn - - > ZnCl2 + Ni
