Carbohydrates are biological molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of roughly one carbon atom (
C

H

H

Ostart text, H, end text, start subscript, 2, end subscript, start text, O, end text). This composition gives carbohydrates their name: they are made up of carbon (carbo-) plus water (-hydrate). Carbohydrate chains come in different lengths, and biologically important carbohydrates belong to three categories: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
Answer:
Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)
Oxidized: Cd
Reduced: Ag
Explanation:
Cd(s) + AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag(s)
Cd → Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻ Half reaction oxidation
1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag Half reaction reduction
Ag changed oxidation number from +1 to 0
Cd changed oxidation number from 0 to +2
Let's ballance the electrons
( Cd → Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻ ) .1
( 1e⁻ + Ag⁺ → Ag ) .2
Cd + 2e⁻ + 2Ag⁺ → 2Ag + Cd²⁺ + 2e⁻
Finally the ballance equation is:
Cd(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) → Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag(s)
