Copper is plated on zinc by immersing a piece of zinc into a solution containing copper(ii) ions. in the plating reaction, copper ii ions: a) gain two electrons and is are reduced. b) lose two electrons and is are oxidized. c) gain two electrons and is are oxidized. d)lose two electrons and is are reduced.

Hey there!:

Copper plating on Zinc will occur via this simple reaction:

Cu²⁺   +   2 e⁻   ⇌   Cu

When a species gains electron, it is reduced. Its oxidation state is decreased. For example, in the above reaction Cu2+ gained 2 electron to get reduced to Cu. Its oxidation state changed from +2 to 0. Hence it is a reduction reaction.

So, the correct answer is  :

The copper II ions  gain two electrons and are reduced.

Answer B

Hope this helps!

answer is d because it is trust me

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
