Question

zn+AgNo3---->Zn(No3)2+Ag
name the substances which are oxidised and reduced.

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxidised substance = Zn (Zinc)

Reduced substance = AgNO₃ (Silver nitrate)

Additional Information:

$\sf{Zn + AgNO_3 \: \longrightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2+Ag}$

Oxidised substance = Zn (Zinc)

Reduced substance = AgNO₃ (Silver nitrate)

Zinc is oxidised to Zinc Nitrate - Zn(NO₃)₂

Silver Nitrate is reduced to Silver - Ag

Here the oxidising agent is Silver nitrate.

The reducing agent iOxidised substance = Zn (Zinc)

Reduced substance = AgNO₃ (Silver nitrate)s Zinc.

A substance is reduced when there is :

• Loss of O₂
• Gain of H₂
• Gain of electrons

A substance is oxidised when there is :

• Gain is O₂
• Loss of H₂
• Loss is electrons

Zinc looses it's electrons, and Silver nitrate receives electrons.

The given reaction is a redox reaction as one reactant gets reduced and other gets oxidized in the reaction.
