Classify the reaction between zinc and acetic acid. answer fast, due tomorrow!

1) Zn(s) + 2 HO2CCH3(l) --> Zn(O2CCH3)2 + H2(g)

There are two half reactions:
Zn -->Zn (2+) + 2e-
2e- + 2 H+ --> H2

(the acetic acid ionized to form H+ and acetate- ions)

2) It's a red-ox (reduction-oxidation) reaction. The Zn gives up 2 electrons to the 2 hydrogen atoms. In general one element loses electrons and another gains electrons. The element gaining the electrons is the oxidizer and the element losing them is the reducing agent. The oxidizer becomes reduced and the reducing agent becomes oxidized.

3) Hydrocarbons and oxygen.
