$0 Z n (s) + 0 C l_{2} (g) \to^{+ I I} Z n^{- I} C l_{2} (s)$ $stackrel(0)Zn(s) + stackrel(0)Cl_2(g) rarr stackrel(""^(+II))Znstackrel(""^-I)Cl_2(s)$

Explanation:

The given reaction is certainly a redox reaction. The metal, as is typical, is oxidized, $Z n (0) \to Z n (+ I I)$ $Zn(0)rarrZn(+II)$ , and the non-metal is reduced, $C l_{2} (0) \to C l (- I)$ $Cl_2(0)rarrCl(-I)$ ,.

Generation of $ferric chloride$ $"ferric chloride"$ represents another redox equation:

$F e (s) + \frac{3}{2} C l_{2} (g) \to F e C l_{3} (s)$ $Fe(s) + 3/2Cl_2(g) rarr FeCl_3(s)$
