This is a great practice problem because we get to understand and interpret the reaction for oxidation and its net ionic reaction. And from there we can really understand the definition of oxidation and reduction or redox. So for part A, we know that iron is a less reactive metal than zinc. So what's going happen is that the iron nitrate is going to reduce or pardon me. Yes, going to reduce zinc and zinc is going to be oxidized. And so our reaction for this equation is going to look like this, who have three moles of zinc solid and will add two moles of iron nitrate will produce three moles of zinc and nitrite and two moles of solid iron. Now, if we were to write the Net Ionic equation for this, this is what it would look like. We would have two moles of iron three plus, which is acquis, will add three moles of zinc solid, will produce three moles of zinc, two plus acquis and two moles of iron solid. And then, from this Net Ionic equation, we have to ask ourselves well, which is the more reactive metal? Well, zinc is oxidized, much easier than iron. So zinc is the more reactive metal in this Net ionic equation. And then we're going to be asking, Well, which metal is being oxidized in which metal is being reduced and this goes back to the definition of Redox. And this is all about the donation and acceptance off electrons. So zinc donates electrons, which means that it's going to be oxidized. Iron three plus accepts electrons, which means it's going to be reduced. And if you're confused about the transfer of electrons, you can simply look at the charges and the Net Ionic equation. For example, zinc went from a neutral charge two a two plus charge, which means that a donated electrons, an iron, went from a three plus charge to neutral, which means it accepted electrons. And that's how we got the definition of oxidation and reduction. So I hope that this problem helped you understand how we can write oxidation reactions and then the Net Ionic equation, and then interpret them based on the reactivity of Redox
