<h2><u>Question :-</u></h2>

In the reaction Pb + 2Ag+ – Pb2+ + 2Ag, the Ag+ is.

a) Reduced, and the oxidation number changes from +1 to 0.

b) Reduces and the oxidation number changes from +2 to 0.

c) Oxidized and the oxidation number changes from 0 to +1.

d) Oxidized, and the oxidation number changes from +1 to 0.

<h3>____________________</h3>

<h2><u>Solution :-</u></h2>

<h3><u>Given Information :-</u></h3>

  • <u>Reaction ➢</u> Pb + 2Ag⁺ ⟶ Pb²⁺ + 2Ag

<h3><u>To Find :-</u></h3>

  • Whether Ag⁺ is:-

  • a) Reduced, and the oxidation number changes from +1 to 0.

  • b) Reduces and the oxidation number changes from +2 to 0.

  • c) Oxidized and the oxidation number changes from 0 to +1.

  • d) Oxidized, and the oxidation number changes from +1 to 0.

<h3><u>Answer :-</u></h3>

Firstly let us know the meaning of Oxidation & Reduction and Oxidizing & Reducing Agent :-

  1. Oxidation is process of loss of electron(s). Either atom or ion undergoing oxidation, is known as reducing agent.
  2. Reduction is process of gain of electron(s). Either atom or ion undergoing reduction, is known as oxidizing agent.

In this reaction, Ag⁺ gains an electron to get <u>reduced</u> to Ag. The oxidation number changes from +1 to 0. Therefore, Ag+ is an oxidizing agent.

Since, this possibility is given in option a). Reduced, and the oxidation number changes from +1 to 0. Hence, option a is the correct answer.

<h3>____________________</h3>

<h2><u>Final Answer :-</u></h2>

  • Option a. Reduced, and the oxidation number changes from +1 to 0 is correct answer.

Ice cubes in water and explain why it is either a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture.
alexandr402 [8]
Ice cubes are made of water which has undergone freezing, which made it into ice. Both ice cubes and water have the same properties. But in this case, when ice and water are mixed, it is considered a heterogeneous mixture and not homogeneous. Why? Going back to the definition of what a heterogeneous mixture is, this mixture shows a visible difference of difference phases or substances. In the ice and water mixture, it is obviously seen that ice is solid, and water is liquid.
