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 Br atoms are in 1.98 g of Br?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

1.5 x 10²²atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Br = 1.98g

Unknown:

Number of atoms

Solution:

A mole of a substance is the amount of substance contained in the avogadro's number of particles.

To solve this problem, we must first find the number of moles present in the given mass of the Br atom:

       Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass} =  \frac{1.98}{80}  = 0.025mole.

Now we know that:

       1 mole = 6.02 x 10²³

      0.025 mole = 0.025 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 1.5 x 10²²atoms

How many valence electrons are transferred from the calcium atom to iodine in the formation of the compound calcium iodide?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Two electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Iodine is the element of seventeenth group and fifth period. The electronic configuration of Iodine is - 2, 8, 18, 18, 7 or [Kr]4d^{10}5s^25p^5

There are 7 valence electrons of iodine.

Calcium iodide, CaI_2 is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by 2 atoms of iodine.
