Assertion : Zn(s)+Cu^(2+)(aq)rarrZn^(2+)...

Assertion : `Zn(s)+Cu^(2+)(aq)rarrZn^(2+)(aq)+Cu(s)` can be split into following two half reactions `underset(("oxidation half reaction"))(Zn(s)rarrZn^(2+)+2e^(-))`
Reason : Every redox reaction can be split into two reactions, one representing loss of electrons and the other representing gain of electrons.
`Cu^(2+)(aq)+2e^(-)rarrunderset(("reduction half reaction"))(Cu(s))`
