Thank you very much :)
Answered by DrBob222
I don't think the answer is B. If zinc is more easily oxidized which makes it a better reducing agent, then wouldn't the answer be D.
Answered by Cherry
Actually no, DrBob222, you would be wrong. That was my original answer, but I got it wrong. Letter B is the correct answer for this particular question. Thank you anyway! :)
Answered by Cherry
You have to read the question. It asks which is FALSE.
Answered by DrBob222
You're right. I did not read the question right. I missed the word FALSE. Thanks. And Bob P is right as usual.
