Cu(s) + Pb?"(aq) Cu""(aq) + Pb(s);-0.234 V

Explanation / Answer

13)

Zn is changing from Zn to Zn2+

So, oxidation number of Zn is increasing

So, Zn is undergoing oxidation

Answer: d

14)

oxidation half cell is:

Zn(s) —> Zn2+(aq)   + 2e-

reduction half cell is:

Sc3+(aq)   + 3e- —> Sc(s)

to balance electron multiply 1st equation by 3 and end equation by 2 and then add them

the net reaction is:

3 Zn(s) + 2 Sc3+(aq) —> 2 Sc(s) + 3 Zn2+ (aq)
