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.

The condition that a reaction takes place without outside help Choose... Solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in th
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Difference of the enthalpy (of a system) minus the product of the entropy and absolute temperature

Explanation:

The basis of spontaneity in a chemical reaction is that ∆G must be negative. ¡∆G is known as the change in free energy of a system. If ∆G is negative, then the reaction will occur without any external help (the reaction is spontaneous at room temperature).

∆G is given by;

∆G= ∆H -T∆S

Where;

∆H= change in enthalpy of the system

T= absolute temperature of the system

∆S= change in entropy

Hence; when ∆H -T∆S gives a negative result, the reaction proceeds without any external help.

Nana76 [90]
Answer: sphere interaction

The ocean absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in order to maintain balance is an example of sphere interaction. The different spheres like lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere interact with one another naturally to achieve equilibrium in the environment.
