Question

Write the oxidising and reducing agent in following reaction
2+
Zn + Cu²
→
Zn
+ Cu​

Answer 1

Answer:

Zinc metal is the reducing agent; it loses two electrons (is oxidized) and becomes Zn2+ ion. The reactant that gains electrons (is reduced) causes an oxidation and is called an oxidizing agent. Cu2+ ion gains two electrons (is reduced) to form copper metal.
