Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the reaction 2Ag+ + Zn → 2Ag + Zn^2+, which element is oxidized? (2020)
  • Step 1: Identify the reactants and products in the reaction: 2Ag+ + Zn → 2Ag + Zn^2+.
  • Step 2: Look at the oxidation states of each element before and after the reaction.
  • Step 3: Notice that silver (Ag) starts as Ag+ and ends as Ag, meaning it gains an electron.
  • Step 4: Observe that zinc (Zn) starts as a neutral atom and ends as Zn^2+, meaning it loses two electrons.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the element that loses electrons is oxidized. In this case, zinc (Zn) is oxidized.
