Question

Fe(s) + ZnSO4(aq) = FeSO4(aq) + Zn(s) which reaction is this?

Answer 1

Answer:

single displacement reaction

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

Zn0 - 2 e- → ZnII (oxidation)

FeII + 2 e- → Fe0 (reduction)

Zn is a reducing agent, FeSO4 is an oxidizing agent.

Reactants:

Zn
