Hi, now we will discuss about the given reaction.
00:04
Zn plus 2 h plus gives rise to zn2 plus h2.
00:07
Here they are asking that whether the zinc is oxidized or not in the given reaction.
00:12
For that first we have to find the oxidation state of zinc before the reaction and after the reaction.
00:19
Here, zinc is converting into zn2 plus.
00:24
So, zinc here the oxidation state of zinc is 0.
00:27
Here it is plus 2.
00:29
By losing two electrons, zn is converting into zn plus 2.
00:33
That means this is as a losing of electrons, this is the process of oxidation.
00:40
And if you see 2h plus, by accepting these two electrons it is converting into h2.
00:48
This is a reduction process...
