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.

Manipulated variable: the types of soil
Responding variable: how much t the plants grow
<span>For equation A + 3B + 2C ---> 2D,
1 mole of A will produce 2 moles of D
3 moles of B will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of B will produce 2/3 moles of D
2 moles of C will produce 2 moles of D, so 1 mole of C will produce 1 mole of D
If only 1 mole of B is present, only 2/3 moles of D can be produced. This is regardless of the number of moles of A and C. B is the limiting reactant and the maximum number of moles of D expected is 2/3.</span>
