Which is the correct oxidation half-reaction for the following equation? Zn + 2 Ag⁺¹ $\rarr$Zn⁺² + 2 Ag A)Ag $\rarr$ Ag⁺¹ + 1 e^-1 B)Ag⁺¹ + 1 e^-1 $\rarr$ Ag C)Zn⁺² + 2 e^-1 $\rarr$ Zn D)Zn $\rarr$ Zn⁺² + 2 e^-1

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an oxidation half-reaction, a substance loses electrons. The correct option, D, shows zinc (Zn) being oxidized to zinc ion (Zn^2+) and losing 2 electrons, which matches the definition of oxidation.
