Answer:

Zn (s) ---->  Zn2+ (aq)  +  2e-

Explanation:

Solid zinc releases two electrons, it means that it is oxidizing and at the same time changes its oxidation number, from 0 (ground state) to +2

Answer:

[tex]Zn^0(s)-->Z^{2+}(aq)+2e^{-}[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

Considering the stated requirement, such half reaction indicates that pure zinc whose oxidation state is 0 becomes ionized zinc whose oxidation state is  2+; in such a way, its half reaction is:

[tex]Zn^0(s)-->Z^{2+}(aq)+2e^{-}[/tex]

It is important to notice that 2 electrons were transferred since the change in the oxidation state is from 0 to +2:

Best regards.
