Question

For the following (potentially unbalanced) reaction, determine what is being (a) reduced and (b) oxidized, (c) write the redox half-reactions, and (d) write a balanced net ionic equation.

ZnCl2(aq) + Ti(s) −−→ Zn(s) + TiCl4(aq)

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Reduction is defined as the gain of electron while oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons. 

Balanced chemical equation,

2ZnCl2(aq) + Ti(s) 2Zn(s) + TiCl4(aq)
