Question

name the oxidising and reducing is in the reaction ZNO+ C = ZN+CO

Answer 1

oxidising means addition of oxygen
reducing means removal of oxygen
in the equation ZNO +C=ZN+CO
ZNO loses oxygen so it is reduction and C gains oxygen so it is oxidation

hope this helps you :)

Answer 2

here , the reaction is ZNO+ C = ZN+CO

so, Reducing agent-C

Oxidizing agent-ZnO

Oxidized-C

Reduced- ZnO

Reduction: Reaction that shows the loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.

Both oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously and hence called redox reaction.
