<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Galvanization is defined as the process in which a protective layer of zinc is applied to iron or steel to prevent the metal from rusting.

Zinc prevents the oxidation of iron and acts as a reducing agent in the process.

The half reaction for the process follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe

Net chemical equation:  Zn+Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Fe

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
