Question

in the reaction Zn+2Hcl-》ZnCl2+H2
what is getting oxidised and what is getting reduced
explain it fully​

Answer 1

Answer:

Please mark as brainliest answer

Explanation:

It is fairly obvious that zinc metal reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid! The bubbles are hydrogen gas.

Answer 2

Solution:

First let us see what oxidation and reduction is ,

Oxidation:

• Addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen is called oxidation

Reduction:

• Addition of hydrogen or removal of oxygen is called reduction.

The given reaction is ,

$\sf{Zn+2HCl \longrightarrow ZnCl_{2}+H_{2}}$

Here from Chlorine is neither reduced nor oxidised.

Here Zinc is Reducing agent and it gets oxidised during the reaction.
