Study this chemical reaction: feso4 (aq) + zn (s) --> fe (s) + znso4 (aq) then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.

oxidation:

reduction:

The oxidation and reduction half reactions are written below.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

The half reactions for the given reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction:  

Reduction half reaction:

Hence, the oxidation and reduction half reactions are written above.

the answer is b. dilution
