Answer: Option C) Reduction is the gain of electrons.

Explanation:

Reduction is a process involving a gain of electron(s), while oxidation involves a loss of electron(s).

The zinc chloride produced by the reaction is in what state
ANEK [815]

Answer: Solution in Water

Explanation:

I believe this refers to the reaction between Zinc and Hydrochloric acid.

When this happens, the solution will be Zinc Chloride but as it happened in a solution (the acid), the resulting Zinc Chloride salt would be in aqueous form which means that it would be a solution in water which is the other product of this reaction.

Had the zinc reacted with gaseous HCI, it would have resulted in a Zinc Chloride with no liquid in it.
