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

Answer»

Zn can't replace hydrogen from acids
Zn is a REDUCING agent
Zn is an OXIDISING agent
`Zn^(2+)` is a reducing agent

Solution :SINCE `E_(Zn^(++)//Zn)^(o)` is negative, so Zn has greater tendency to be oxidized. Than hydrogen. Hence it can ACT as reducing agent.
