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.

Answer:
Take E(alpha particle energy) = 5.5 MeV (5.5x106x1.6x10-19)
If the charge on the lead nucleus is +82e(atomic number of lead is 82) = +82x1.6x10-19 C and the charge on the alpha particle is +2e = 2x1.6x10-19 C
Using dc = (1/4πεo)qQ/Eα we have
dc = [9x10^9x(2x1.6x10-19x82x1.6x10-19)]/5.5x10-13 = 6.67x10^-13m. = 6.67 x 10^-13 x 10^15 = 6.67 x 10^2fm
Note: 1meter = 10^15fentometer
Explanation:
This is well inside the atom but some eight nuclear diameters from the centre of the lead nucleus.
Molar mass is the mass of one stable molecule of a compound, that cannot join with another molecule of the same kind to form a new one, while an empirical formula is the molecular formula in its simplest form. E.g. empirical formula of ethene is CH2while its molecular formula is C2H4.
