Answer:
oxidation reaction
Explanation:
Since the zinc atom lost electrons, it is an oxidation reaction because the other half of the equation involves the hydrogen ions (initially bonded to the chloride ion in the hydrochloric acid). The hydrogen ions gain the electrons lost by the zinc atom, and bond together to form hydrogen gas.
The top ten largest countries in the world are (in order) Russia, Canada, America, China, Brazil, Australia, India, Argentina, Kazakhstan and Sudan. Therefore, the answer to your question would be Brazil, since it is the only one in South America.
