Equation -   Zn + 2NaOH → H_{2} + Na_{2} ZnO_{2}

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:

  • Na_{2} ZnO_{2}, Names: Sodium zinc oxide
  • H_{2}, 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.
