Magnesium reacts with a silver nitrate solution
The reaction is represented by the ionic equation given
State why this reaction is considered a redox reaction


Sagot :

Answer: Mg oxidised to Mg++ and Ag+ reduced to Ag

Explanation:No ionic equation given!!

assume equation is Mg + 2Ag+ + 2NO3- —> Mg++ + 2Ag + 2NO3-

redox reaction: Ag gains an electron = reduced

Mg loseselectrons = oxidised
