Identify the reducing agent in the following reaction:
Identify the reducing agent in the following reaction:
Zn + CuSO\(_4\) → ZnSO\(_4\) + Cu
Cu
Zn
ZnSO\(_4\)
CuSO\(_4\)
Correct answer is B
The reducing agent is the species that undergoes oxidation and causes the reduction of another species. In this reaction, zinc (Zn) is being oxidized to form zinc sulfate (ZnSO\(_4\)) while reducing copper sulfate (CuSO\(_4\)) to copper (Cu).
