Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In a reaction, \(\mathrm{Zn}(5)+\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{ZnSO}_{4}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cu}(5)\) ; Zn is a reductant but itself gets oxidized.
Statement II: In a redox reaction, oxidant is reduced by accepting electrons and reductant is oxidized by losing electrons.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
- Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
Answer
(C) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
