<span>Zn⁰ + 2H⁺ ------> Zn²⁺ + H2⁰
H⁺ ion has oxidation number +1.
Zn²⁺ ion has oxidation number +2.
Atom of Zn has electric charge 0, and each hydrogen atom in the molecule H2 have oxidation number 0. So, </span> Zn and each hydrogen atom in H2 have oxidation numbers equals "0".<span>

Answer:
O lowering the temperature of the system
<span>PbO
Let's look at each of the 4 compounds and see what's needed.
PbO.
* Oxygen has a valance shell that's missing 2 electrons and wants to get those 2 elections. Lead donates them, so you have a Lead (II) ions. This is a correct choice.
PbCl4
* Chlorine wants to grab 1 electron to fill it's valance shell and Lead donates that election. However, there's 4 chlorine atoms and every one of them wants and electron, and lead is donating all 4 of the desired electrons making the Lead (IV) ion. So this is a bad choice.
Pb2O
* Oxygen still wants 2 electrons and gets them from the lead. But there's 2 lead atoms and each of them donates 1 election making for 2 Lead(I) ions. So this too is a bad choice.
Pb2S
* Sulfur is in the same column of the periodic table as oxygen and if this compound were to exist would have similar properties as Pb2O and would have Lead(I) ions. So this is a bad choice.</span>
Answer:
Answer:
step 1:balance skeleton equation the chemical equation:
Zn +HNO3➔Zn(NO3)2+NO+H2O
step 2: identity undergoing oxidation or reduction
here
Zn➔Zn(NO3)2
Zn is oxidized from 0 to 2 in oxidation no.
HNO3➔NO
N is reduced from 5 to 2 in oxidation no
Step 3: calculate change in oxidation no.
change in oxidation no
in Zn=0-2=-2=2
in
N=5-2=3
Step 4: Balance it by doing crisscrossed multiplication
we get;
3Zn +2HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+H2O
step 6:Balance other atoms except H & O
3Zn +2HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+H2O
3Zn +2HNO3+6HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+H2O
finally: balance H
<em><u>3Zn +8HNO3➔3Zn(NO3)2+2NO+4H2O</u></em>
