​

Answer 1

Answer:

Zinc oxide reacts with carbon, on heating to form Zinc metal and carbon monoxide. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. ... ZnO+C—>Zn+CO (i)Carbon metal is oxidized since it gains oxygen to form CO. (ii)ZnO is reduced to Zn since there is loss of oxygen.

Answer 2

Answer:

here oxidizing agent is Zn , because oxidizing agent loose oxygen atom and here this work is being done by Zn

Reducing agent is C
