Identify the reactant that gets oxidized in the following reaction.

2 AgNO₃(aq) + CaI₂(aq) → 2 AgI(s) + Ca(NO₃)₂(aq)

A) Ag in AgNO₃
B) I in CaI₂
C) N in AgNO₃
D) Ca in CaI₂
E) This is not an oxidation/reduction type of reaction

Sagot :

Answer:

E) This is not an Oxidation/ Reduction type of reaction

Explanation:

Oxidation involves the loss of electrons while reduction involves the addition of electrons. None of the elements change their oxidation number in the reaction, so this is not an oxidation/reduction type of reaction.

The addition of oxygen and the removal is electrons is called oxidation. In a reaction that has both the process is called the redox reactions.

The correct answer to the question is option E

In this reaction, not any elements have the loose and gain the electrons in order to tell the oxidation and reduction.

This reaction is a neutralization reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is E that is not an oxidation/reduction type of reaction.
