Question
In the following chemical reaction :
Ag2O + H2O + 2e- → 2Ag + 2OH-
Ag2O + H2O + 2e- → 2Ag + 2OH-
Options
A.Hydrogen is reduced
B.Electrons are reduced
C.Water is oxidised
D.Silver is oxidised
Solution
In the given rection, water is being oxidised because it is accepting oxygen from
Ag2O, while Ag+ is reduced.
Ag2O + H2O + 2e- → 2Ag + 2OH-
Ag2O, while Ag+ is reduced.
Ag2O + H2O + 2e- → 2Ag + 2OH-
