Question

Explain why the following reaction is a redox reaction :ZnO +C -------> Zn + CO

Answer 1

The given reaction is a redox reaction because in this reaction, ZnO gets reduced to Zn and C gets oxidized to CO.Here,both oxidation and reduction takes place.So this reaction is redox reaction

Hope it helps!!

Plz mark as brainliest;;))

Answer 2

redox reaction is said when oxidation and reduction both occurs

Zn undergoes reduction from ZnO(+2)to Zn(0)

C undergoes oxidation from C(0)to CO(+2)..
