Aluminum atoms transfer electrons to chlorine atoms.

Zinc is reduced.

Zinc is the reducing agent.

The oxidation number of chlorine does not change.

Aluminum is oxidized.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2, 4, 5

Explanation:

2 - zinc is reduced

4 - the oxidation number of chlorine does not change

5 - aluminum is oxidized

I got them all correct on edge 2020  

In the given reaction, Zinc is reduced and Aluminium is oxidized the given reaction is a redox reaction because both reduction and oxidation are taking place.

What is a redox reaction?

  • Redox reaction is a reaction where both oxidation and reduction take place.
  • Here in the given reaction, it is a redox reaction because oxidation takes place in Aluminium and reduction takes place in Zinc.
  • So, in this redox reaction, ZnCl2 is an oxidizing agent and Al is a reducing agent.

Hence, in this redox reaction Zinc is reduced and Aluminium is oxidized.

Therefore. options B and E is the correct answer.
