Change the conditions.
Change the chemistry.
Choose one of three familiar textbook situations. Then compare the reaction, the electron acceptor and the reason. This is an explorer for three cases—not a general chemical reaction predictor.

EXPERIMENT RESULTReaction
Zn + H₂SO₄ → ZnSO₄ + H₂
WHO IS OXIDIZED?Zinc: 0 → +2
WHO ACCEPTS ELECTRONS?Hydrogen ions (H⁺)
Zinc loses electrons; hydrogen ions gain them and form H₂ gas.
Simplified high-school model. Conditions and reaction rates matter.
