Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the redox reaction 2Ag+ + Zn → 2Ag + Zn2+, which species is oxidized? (2021)
  • Step 1: Identify the reactants in the reaction: 2Ag+ and Zn.
  • Step 2: Determine what happens to each reactant during the reaction.
  • Step 3: Note that Zn changes to Zn2+, which means it loses electrons.
  • Step 4: Understand that losing electrons is called oxidation.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since Zn loses electrons, it is the species that is oxidized.
