Assertion : In a reaction Zn(s) + CuSO4 (aq) gives ZnSO4 (aq) +Cu(s) , Zn is a reductant but itself get oxidized. Reason : In a redox reaction , oxidant is reduced by accepting electrons and reductant is oxidized by losing electrons. Assertion : In a reaction Zn(s) + CuSO4 (aq) gives ZnSO4 (aq) +Cu(s) [...]
