Question

2Ag (s) + H2S(s) → Ag2S(s) + H2(g)

Answer 1

Answer: Oxidation half: $2Ag\rightarrow 2Ag^++2e^-$

Reduction half: $2H^++2e^-\rightarrow H_2$

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

$2Ag(s)+H_2S(s)\rightarrow Ag_2S(s)+H_2(g)$

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Oxidation half: $2Ag\rightarrow 2Ag^++2e^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Reduction half: $2H^++2e^-\rightarrow H_2$
