Question

In the following chemical reaction: Ag2O + H2O + 2e- arrow 2Ag + 2OH-  (A) Hydrogen is reduced (B) Electrons are reduced (C) Water is oxidised (D) Silver is oxidised

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In the given reaction, water is being oxidised because it is accepting oxygen from Ag2O, while Ag+ is reduced. Ag2O + H2O + 2e- arrow 2Ag + 2OH-

Q. In the following chemical reaction:
$A g_{2} O + H_{2} O + 2 e^{-} \to 2 A g + 2 O H^{-}$

Hydrogen is reduced

Electrons are reduced

Water is oxidised

Silver is oxidised

In the given reaction, water is being oxidised because it is accepting oxygen from $A g_{2} O$ , while $A g^{+}$ is reduced.
$A g_{2} O + H_{2} O + 2 e^{-} \to 2 A g + 2 O H^{-}$

Q. In the following chemical reaction: Ag2​O+H2​O+2e−→2Ag+2OH−
