Respuesta :

Zn⁰(s) + Cu²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Cu⁰(s),

Zn⁰(s) ------> Zn²⁺(aq)  + 2e⁻
As we can see Zn(s) lost 2 electrons and became Zn²⁺ ion.
So, Zn was oxidized.
Correct answer is 1) Zn(s).
Oseni

Looking closely at the chemical reaction, the species that is oxidized would be Zn (s).

What is oxidation?

Oxidation can be defined in a variety of ways:

  • Increase in oxidation number

  • Addition of oxygen

  • Removal of hydrogen

Looking at the reaction, the oxidation number of Zn increased from 0 to +2 while that of Cu decreased from +2 to 0.

Thus Zn has been oxidized while Cu has been reduced.
