Solution
The correct option is A 1 Redox reaction is Zn(s)+PbCl2(aq)⟶Pb(s)+ZnCl2(aq). The complete ionic equation is Zn(s)+Pb2+(aq)+2Cl−(aq)⟶Pb(s)(aq)+Zn2+(aq)+2Cl−(aq). The net ionic equation is Zn(s)(aq)+Pb2+(aq)⟶Pb(s)+Zn2+(aq). Thus, it can be represented as following half equations : Zn(s)⟶Zn2+(aq)+2e− (oxidation) and Pb2+(aq)+2e−⟶Pb(s) (reduction)
