The two reactions below involve HCl, a strong acid, and one is
an oxidation-reduction, while the other is an acid-base
reaction
𝑍n(𝑠) + 2𝐻Cl(π‘Žq) β†’ Zn𝐢l2(π‘Žq) +
𝐻2 𝑀g(𝑂H)2(π‘Žq) + 2𝐻Cl(π‘Žq) β†’
𝑀g𝐢l2(π‘Žq) + 2𝐻2𝑂(𝑙)
a. Identify the oxidation-reduction reaction.
b. Explain why both are not acid-base or oxidation-reduction
reactions.
