Step 1
First, we need to identify the oxidation states of each element in the reactants and products: Zn2+ (aq): +2 Cu (s): 0 Zn (s): 0 Cu2+ (aq): +2 Now, let's compare the oxidation states to determine which substance was oxidized: Show more…

Which of the following reactions are redox reactions? For those reactions that are redox reactions, identify the substance being oxidized and the substance being reduced. a. Zn(s) + CoCl2(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + Co(s) b. HI(aq) + NaOH(aq) → H2O(l) + NaI(aq) c. AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) d. 2 K(s) + Br2(l) → 2 KBr(s)
