Hello! Your answer would be a gain of electrons and a decrease in positive charge.
Contrary to how it sounds, reduction is actually a gain of electrons. It is part of a set of reactions known as a redox reaction, reduction being a gain of electrons and oxidation being a loss.
With the gain of electrons, the element would become more negative as electrons bring with them a negative charge. Therefore, this would decrease the positive charge.
Hope this helped!
The answears are in the attached photo.
<span>Copper metal (Cu) reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO3) in aqueous solution to form Ag and Cu(NO3)2. An excess of AgNO3 is present. The balanced chemical equation is shown below.
Cu + 2AgNO3 ---> Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
The molar mass of Cu is 63.5 g/mol. The molar mass of Ag is 107.9 g/mol. What mass, in grams, of Ag is produced from reaction of 31.75 g of Cu?
26.95
107.9
215.91
431.82</span>
The answer will be 3 moles
