8.
a.
The oxidation number of Zn in the reactant Zn metal = 0
The oxidation number of Zn in the product ZnSO₄ (Zn²⁺) = +2
Zn is oxidized because the oxidation number increases.

b.
The oxidation number of Cu in the reactant Cu²⁺ ion = +2
The oxidation number of Cu in the product Cu metal = 0
Cu²⁺ ion is reduced because the oxidation number decreases.

c.
Copper(II) ion is the oxidizing agent.

d.
Zinc is the reducing agent.
