Equation - Zn + 2NaOH → +
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is taking on here.
- Zn - 2e- → Zn (oxidation)
- 2H + 2e- → 2H (reduction)
NaOH is an oxidizer, while Zn is a reducing agent.
Reactants:
- Zn, Names: Zinc
- NaOH Names: Sodium hydroxide
Products:
- , Names: Sodium zinc oxide
- , Names: Hydrogen
Redox reaction:
A redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred between two substances. Any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron is known as an oxidation-reduction reaction.
