6 Ag3AsO4 + 27 Zn + 54 HCl → 2 As3H3 + 27 ZnCl2 + 18 Ag + 24 H2O
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
6 AsV + 36 e- → 6 As-I (reduction)
27 Zn0 - 54 e- → 27 ZnII (oxidation)
18 AgI + 18 e- → 18 Ag0 (reduction)
Ag3AsO4 is an oxidizing agent, Zn is a reducing agent, Ag3AsO4 is an oxidizing agent.
