lesya692 [45]2 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u> The correct option is D) Ag^+

<u>Explanation:</u>

The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when oxidation number of a species increases.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when oxidation number of a species decreases.

For the given chemical reaction:

Zn^0+2Ag^+\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2Ag^0

<u>On the reactant side:</u>

Oxidation number of Zn = 0

Oxidation number of Ag = +1

<u>On the product side:</u>

Oxidation number of Zn = +2

Oxidation number of Ag = 0

As the oxidation number of Ag is decreasing from +1 to 0. Thus, Ag^+ is getting reduced.

Hence, the correct option is D) Ag^+
