Question

Which substance in this redox reaction is the oxidizing agent? cu 2agno3 → 2ag cu(no3)2 a. n b. agno3 c. cu d. no3− e. cu(no3)2

Answer 1

AgNO3 substance in this redox reaction is the oxidizing agent.

The following can be inferred or determined from the provided reaction

$\mathrm{Cu}+2 \mathrm{AgNO}_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}+2 \mathrm{Ag}$

A redox reaction is taking place.

Oxidation and reduction are happening at the same time. Silver is reduced while copper is oxidized.

Silver is less reactive than copper.

Copper is more reactive than silver because it removes silver from silver nitrate solution. AgNO3 is an oxidizing agent, whereas Cu is a reducing agent. After some time, a blue-coloured solution forms when copper turnings are introduced to the silver nitrate solution.

Redox reactions are oxidation-reduction chemical processes in which the oxidation states of the reactants change. Redox is a shortened version of reduction-oxidation. Two distinct processes—a reduction process and an oxidation process—can be used to describe all redox reactions.

Redox or Oxidation-Reduction processes usually involve simultaneous oxidation and reduction reactions. In a chemical reaction, the material that is being reduced is referred to as the reducing agent, while the substance that is being oxidized is the oxidizing agent.
