Question

In the following redox reaction Zn (s)+ NO 3-(a q)+ H +(a q) arrow Zn 2+(a q)+ NH 4+(a q) Zn (s) and NO 3-(a q) respectively are (A) Oxidant, reductant (B) Reductant, oxidant (C) Both oxidant (D) Bothe reductant

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Zn arrow Zn 2+ Zn is oxidized hence, it is a reducing agent (reductant) underset+5NO 3- arrow underset-3NH 4+ NO 3-is reduced hence, it is oxidizing agent (oxidant)

Q. In the following redox reaction
$Z n (s) + N O_{3}^{-} (a q) + H^{+} (a q) \to Z n^{2 +} (a q) + N H_{4}^{+} (a q) Z n (s)$ and $N O_{3}^{-} (a q)$ respectively are

Oxidant, reductant

Reductant, oxidant

Both oxidant

Bothe reductant

$Z n \to Z n^{2 +}$
$Z n$ is oxidized hence, it is a reducing agent (reductant)
$+ 5 N O_{3}^{-} \to - 3 N H_{4}^{+}$
$N O_{3}^{-}$ is reduced hence, it is oxidizing agent (oxidant)
