1.	Consider the following reaction: Zn+Cu^(2+)rarrZn^(2+)+Cu with reference to the above which one of the following is the correct statement ?
Answer» ZN is reduced to`Zn^(2+)`ions Zn is reduced to `Zn^(2+)ions` `Zn^(2+)`ions are oxidised to Zn `CU^(2+)` ions are oxidised to Cu Solution :Zn LIES above Cu in the activity SERIES and is oxidised to `Zn^(2+)` ions by releasing ELECTRONS. `ZnrarrZn^(2+)+32e^(-)`
