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.

How many moles of Al will be consumed when 0.400 mol of Al2O3 are produced in
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

C) 0.800 mol

Explanation:

  • 4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

In order to <u>convert from moles of Al₂O₃ into moles of Al</u>, we'll need to use<em> the stoichiometric coefficients</em>, using a conversion factor that has Al₂O₃ moles in the denominator and Al moles in the numerator:

  • 0.400 mol Al₂O₃ * \frac{4molAl}{2molAl_2O_3} = 0.800 mol Al

So the correct answer is option C).

CO 2 is an element. true or false
iren [92.7K]

Answer: false

Explanation:

f this helps typically an element wont have a 2 next to it, to see if something is an element or compound check for the element on the periodic table and see if the structure or name matches the one given to you on the question. for example here it is Co2 on the periodic table it's simply written as Co

co2 or carbon dioxide is a  compound not an element, you can even check this on the periodic table
