The reaction Zn^(2+) + 2e^(-) to Zn has a standard potential of -0.76 V. This means

Answer»

Zn cannot replace HYDROGEN from acids
Zn is a reducing agent
Zn is an oxidising agent
`Zn^(2+)` is a reducing agent

SOLUTION :Since `E_(Zn^(2+)//Zn)^@` is negative, so Zn has a GREATER TENDENCY to be oxidised than hydrogen. Hence it can act as reducing agent.
