Mention:
(i) Which reactant is oxidised? To what?
(ii) Which reactant is the oxidiser?
(iii) Which reactant is reduced? To what?
(iv) Which reactant is the reducer?
Solution
Oxidation half-reaction:

Reduction half-reaction:

Here Zn is oxidised to Zn
i) Zn is oxidised to Zn2+,
ii)Pb2+ is reduced to Pb.
iii) Pb2+ is the oxidiser and
iv) Zn is the reducer.

Reduction half-reaction:
