The following reaction occurs in basic solution. Identify the correct oxidation half-reaction. (Note: The equation is not balanced.)
Zn(s) + NO3-(aq) → Zn(OH)4² (aq) + NH3(aq)
Zn(s) → Zn(OH)4² (aq) + 2e-
Zn(s) + 4H2O → Zn(OH)4²¯(aq) + 4H*(aq) + 2e¯
O Zn(s) + 40H-(aq) → Zn(OH)42 (aq) + 2e²
NO3-(aq) + 8e → NH3(aq)
NO3-(aq) + 6H2O + 8e → NH3(aq) + 90H-
