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.

• Take a look at the steps below to see how to balance this equation. Let's start by writing the unbalanced equation given the information.
Unbalanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)
,
Start by Balancing the Carbons : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)
Now let's balance the Hydrogen : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)
Balancing the Oxygen : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)
Balanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)
• Let's apply dimensional analysis here,
0.7 L propane × (5 liters Oxygen / 1 liter Propane) = 3.5 Liters of Oxygen
• Similarly we can identify the liters of carbon dioxide produced in the reaction,
0.7 L propane × (3 liters Carbon Dioxide / 1 liter Propane) = 2.1 Liters of Carbon Dioxide
• 0.7 L propane × (4 liter water vapor / 1 liter propane ) = 2.8 Liters of Water Vapor
Answer:
This is due to more hydrogen bonding in ethylene glycol than it is in isopropyl alcohol
Explanation:
The boiling point of isopropyl alcohol is 82.4 °C it contains only a single OH group, hence intermolecular hydrogen bonding is solely responsible for it's boiling point, whereas Ethylene glycol (CH2OHCH2OH) contains 2-OH group and both intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding are responsible for the higher boiling point of ethylene glycol at 198 °C.
Answer:
If you dissolve 58.44g of NaCl in a final volume of 1 liter, you have made a 1M NaCl solution, a 1 molar solution.
Explanation:
Mass of Oxygen: 0.0159 grams
Moles of Oxygen: 9.94x10^-4
To find the mass of oxygen, subtract the mass of copper from the total mass.

There are 0.0159 grams of Oxygen.
To find how many moles there are, divide the given amount of oxygen by the molar mass (atomic mass) of oxygen because that mass is the same as one mole of oxygen.
Molar mass of Oxygen: 16.00

There are 9.94*10^-4 moles of Oxygen.
