Option (a) is correct.

A reducing agent is the one which loses electrons to other substance.

Here, Zn has oxidation number 0 in the L.H.S of the equation, but on R.H.S its oxidation number is +2 i.e. it Zn has donated two of its electrons to $Fe^{2+}$ .

Hence, Zn is the reducing agent here.

Consider the equation for the formation of water.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The theoretical yield is 160 g H₂O.

Moles of H₂ = 18 g H₂ × (1 mol H₂/2.016 g H₂) = 8.93 mol H₂

Moles of H₂O = 8.93 mol H₂O × (2 mol H₂O/2 mol H₂) = 8.93 mol H₂O

Theoretical yield of H₂O = 8.93 mol H₂O × (18.02 g H₂O/1 mol H₂) = 160 g H₂O
