Question

In the reaction Zn + H+ ---> Zn2+ + H2, Zn is oxidized and H is reduced.

How many electrons would be produced and used in the balanced half-reactions?



Complete the balanced half-reactions:

___H+ +
__e– -->
___H2
___Zn --->
___Zn2+ +
___e–

Answer 1

2 electrons will be produced.

2 H+ + 2 e– --> 1 H2

1 Zn --> 1 Zn2+ + 2 e–

Answer 2

How many electrons would be produced and used in the balanced half-reactions? its 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete the balanced half-reactions:

2 H⁺ + 2 e → 1 H₂.

1 Zn → 1 Zn²⁺ + 2 e.
