AgNO₃ will act as the oxidising agent.

<h3><u>For the given chemical equation:</u></h3>

Cu + 2AgNO₃ →  2Ag + Cu(NO₃)₂

Half reactions for the given chemical reaction:

<u>Reducing agent:</u>

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻

Copper is a reducing agent because it is losing 2 electrons, which causes an oxidation process.

<u>Oxidising Agent</u>:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag

The silver ion undergoes a reduction process and is regarded as an oxidizing agent since it is acquiring one electron per atom.

Hence, AgNO₃ is considered as an oxidizing agent and therefore the correct answer is Option B.

<h3><u>Oxidising and Reducing agents</u></h3>
  • An oxidizing agent is a substance that reduces itself after oxidizing another material. It passes through a reduction process in which it obtains electrons and the substance's oxidation state is decreased.
  • A reducing agent is a chemical that oxidizes after reducing another material. It passes through an oxidation process in which it loses electrons and the substance's oxidation state increases.

Which statement describes the moment magnitude scale?
KengaRu [80]
The moment magnitude scale is a scale that rates earthquakes by estimating the total energy released by an earthquake . Estimating the total amount of energy released, enables comparison of earthquakes more accurately.
This scale can be used to rate earthquakes of all sizes, near or far. The following statements describe the moment magnitude scale:
B. It collects data using a seismograph.
D. It estimates the total energy released from an earthquake.
E. It determines the amount of damage caused by an earthquake.

Which of these statements is not true about chemical reaction rates?
Sliva [168]
I think it is A. The reaction rates can change.
I think we all know that B. and C. are incorrect, but I took a science lesson about this and it specifically said that on a graph of a rate, a curved line is NOT constant, meaning it is possible to not be constant.

Tell how many moles of each element are in the following amounts of each compound
qwelly [4]
Take note of the subscript written for each element in the compound. To find the total number of moles, make sure to multiply the subscript with the number of moles of compound. The answer for each is written below:

a. 3*1 = 3 moles Nitrogen; 3*3 = 9 moles Hydrogen
b. 0.25*2 = 0.5 moles Hydrogen; 0.25*1 = 0.25 moles Oxygen
c. 5*2 = 10 moles Hydrogen; 5*1 =5 moles Sulfur; 5*4 = 20 moles Oxygen
d. 0.75*1 = 0.75 moles Calcium; 0.75*1*2 = 1.5 moles Nitrogen; 0.75*3*2 = 4.5 moles Oxygen

The student repeated the experiment using a higher concentration of acid. The same volume of acid and the same mass of magnesium
Elena L [17]

Answer:

53 cm³

Explanation:

When the student used dilute sulfuric acid, the reaction was complete after 60 s, because no more hydrogen was formed in the next 10 s.

The reaction would go faster if the student used a more concentrated acid, but 53 cm³ of hydrogen is the most that would form.
