For the reaction Zn+2HCl=ZnCl2+h2.identify oxidising agent, reducing agent, substance being oxidized and substance being reduced

Answer 1

In this reaction, Zn is being oxidized to ZnCl2 and HCl is being reduced to H2.

- The oxidizing agent is HCl, as it is causing Zn to lose electrons and become oxidized.

- The reducing agent is Zn, as it is being oxidized and causing HCl to be reduced.
