Question

Balance the reaction, do not leave any fractions, don't leave anything blank, then answer the questions about the reaction

 Blank 1. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. Hg3(PO3)2  +    Blank 2. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. Zn    →    Blank 3. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. Hg   +    Blank 4. Fill in the blank, read surrounding text. Zn3(PO3)2 

 

This is an _______ reaction.  Is this a redox reaction?  (yes/no)  ______ , because Hg+2 is reduced to Hg0, and because Zn0 is  ________ to Zn+2.

Will the reaction happen as it is written?  (yes/no) _______ , because the Activity Series tells us that Hg is more  ________ than Zn.  The reverse reaction would not happen.
