The reducing agent is donating electrons and therefore becoming oxidised itself. In this scenario elemental zinc (Zn) is in a reduced state and is oxidised to become Zn2+, in doing so it donates electrons to Fe2+, thereby reducing it to elemental iron (Fe).
The elemental Zinc in solid state is therefore the reducing agent as it reduces Fe2+ to Fe(s).
A. 1.01 is the right answer
Since
The formula is Pv= nRT
P=1 atm
V= 22.4 L
N= x
r= 0.0821
t = 273 k (bc it’s standard temperature)
So (1)(22.4)=(x)(0.0821)(273)
X= 1.001
