Answer:

Hydrogen accept the two electron form zinc and get reduced. Zinc loses its to electron and get oxidized.

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

Chemical reaction:

Zn(s) + 2H⁺(aq) →  Zn²⁺(aq) + H₂(g)

zinc is oxidized because its oxidation state increase from 0 to +2 and hydrogen is reduced because its oxidation state decreased from +2 to 0.

Hydrogen accept the two electron form zinc and get reduced. Zinc loses its to electron and get oxidized.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Zinc (Zn) was oxidized

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The ionic equation given is;

  • Zn(s) + 2H+ (aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + H2(g)

To answer the question, we can first write the half equation for the above reaction;

The half equations are;

  • Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e, and
  • 2H⁺(aq) + 2e → H₂(g)

From the half equations;

  • Zn lost two electrons to form Zn²⁺, while
  • 2H⁺ gained two electrons to form H₂

Therefore;

  • Zn underwent oxidation which is the loss of electrons while H+ underwent reduction which is the gain of electrons.

What change would shift the equilibrium system to the left?
Margarita [4]

Adding more gas C to the system would shift the equilibrium system to the left.

<h3>What is a chemical balance?</h3>

In a chemical reaction, there is an equilibrium determined by several factors, such as mole concentration, increase or decrease in temperature and addition of mass.

When the amount of reactants is increased, the reaction favors the side of the products and vice versa.

So, to shift the equilibrium to the left, that is, to the reactant side, more of the gas C must be added.
