Question

In redox reaction between Zn and HCl the oxidizing agents is

Answer 1

Answer:

HCl + Zn → ZnCl2 + H2

Here, as the Zn is oxidized to Zn2+ , so here, HCl play a role as oxidizing agent.

Answer 2

Answer:

HCl act as oxidising agent

Explanation:

Zn+ 2HCl→ZnCl2+ H2

In this reaction Zn changes into Zn+2 which means it gets oxidised and it's is oxidised by HCl so HCl act as oxidising agent .

oxidising agent i is defined as the compound or substance which oxidised other substance and itself get reduced.

In this reaction, Zn get oxidised which is oxidised by oxidising agent HCl

HCl is oxidising agent
