Question

zno+c=zn+co which substance is oxidized ,reduced,and oxigen agent

Answer 1

hello..
in zno+c→zn+co
co is oxidised,zno is reduced and zno is oxidising agent.

Answer 2

ZnO is reduced and oxidizing agent.

CO is oxidized.

Explanation:

Oxidizing agents are those chemicals, which oxidize other chemical but reduce itself.

Reducing agents are those substances, which reduces other but oxidizes itself.

The example is given in the diagram (1).

The given reaction is as follows:

$\mathrm{ZnO}+\mathrm{C} \rightarrow \mathrm{Zn}+\mathrm{CO}$

Let’s calculate the oxidation state of each element in the above reaction.

$\begin{matrix} ZnO \\ x+(-2)=0 \\ x=+2 \end{matrix}\quad +\quad \begin{matrix} C \\ 0 \end{matrix}\quad \rightarrow \quad \begin{matrix} Zn \\ 0 \end{matrix}\quad +\quad \begin{matrix} CO \\ x+(-2)=0 \\ x=2 \end{matrix}$
