Liquids have more kinetic energy in their particles compared to solids. this allows the particles to move more freely, hence why they are fluids
Liquids diffuse from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration, until equilibrium is reached
When heat is applied the particles gain more kinetic energy so they now have enough energy to overcome the bonds holding them in the liquid. this means they can evaporate off
The reducing agent is donating electrons and therefore becoming oxidised itself. In this scenario elemental zinc (Zn) is in a reduced state and is oxidised to become Zn2+, in doing so it donates electrons to Fe2+, thereby reducing it to elemental iron (Fe).
The elemental Zinc in solid state is therefore the reducing agent as it reduces Fe2+ to Fe(s).
The correct answer would be “slightly negative”.
