Question

In the following chemical reaction ―Zinc Oxide reacts with carbon to produce zinc metal and carbon monoxide‖ ZnO+C----Zn+CO (a) The substance getting oxidized is --------------and substance getting reduced is ------------ (b) State the reason for choosing the substance in (a) (c) Name the type of reaction (d) Give another type of example of similar type of reaction​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

i. Carbon (C) is being oxidised and zinc oxide (ZnO) is being reduced.

ii. Reason for choosing substances in (i): Carbon (C) gains oxygen and acts as a reducing agent. Similarly, zinc oxide (ZnO) loses oxygen and acts as anoxidising agent.

iii. The given reaction is a redox reaction. Another example – Reaction between iron (III) oxide and carbon is also a redox reaction. Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/32438/following-chemical-reaction-zinc-oxide-reacts-carbon-produce-zinc-metal-carbon-monoxide

Answer 2

Explanation:

a) the substance getting oxidized is C carbon

and the substance getting reduced is ZnO zinc oxide.

b)Since, carbon is a reducing agent it can give pure zinc metal from zinc oxide.

c)it is oxidation and reduction reaction or redox reaction.

d)example of redox reaction:

2Al(s)+Fe2O3(s) 》Al2O3(s)+2Fe(l)
