Question

zncl2+ o2what is the reaction of zinc chloride with oxygen ​

Answer 1

Reaction of Zinc Chloride with Oxygen gas:

ZnCl2(aq) + O2(g)====>ZnO(s)+ Cl2(g)

This reaction is an example of Redox Reaction

Redox Reaction:

•A chemical reaction in which both oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously

•Oxidation is the gain of oxygen atoms and loss of electrons and Reduction is the gain of electrons and gain of oxygen

Answer 2

Answer:

$\mathbf{ZnCl_{2}+ 3O_{2} \implies Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}}$

Explanation:

$\mathbf{ZnCl_{2}+ O_{2} \implies Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}}$

Zinc Chloride and oxygen reacts to form Zinc chlorate

The equation is a skeletal one!

So, let's balance it

$\mathbf{ZnCl_{2}+ O_{2} \implies Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}}$

$\mathbf{ZnCl_{2}+ \bold{3}O_{2} \implies Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}}$
