In the reaction ZnO + C → Zn + CO: — Exam MCQ

rrbjepyq.in · Accepted Answer

C. ZnO is reduced to Zn — In the reaction ZnO + C → Zn + CO, ZnO is reduced to Zn, as it gains electrons and the oxidation state of zinc decreases from +2 to 0. Carbon acts as a reducing agent and is oxidized to carbon monoxide (CO), where its oxidation state increases from 0 to +2. This is a redox reaction involving both reduction and oxidation.
