Which element increases its oxidation number in the following reaction?

An element that increases its oxidation number in a reaction has been oxidized. This means it loses electrons or gains a more positive oxidation state. You can determine which element is oxidized by comparing the oxidation numbers of the element in the reactants and products of the reaction.


Which element is oxidized in the reaction below 2Na plus Br2 2NaBr?

Sodium (Na) is oxidized in the reaction to form sodium bromide (NaBr). In this reaction, sodium goes from an oxidation state of 0 to +1, indicating that it has lost an electron and been oxidized.


Which element has been reduced in the redox reaction agno3 plus na equals nano3 plus ag?

Sodium (Na) has been reduced.


In the redox reaction AgNO3 Na NaNO3 Ag which element has been reduced?

Silver cations are reduced.


In the redox reaction AgNO3 plus Na NaNO3 plus Ag?

In this redox reaction, silver nitrate (AgNO3) is reacting with sodium (Na) to form sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and silver (Ag). The sodium is getting oxidized (losing electrons) while the silver in silver nitrate is getting reduced (gaining electrons).


Which element has been reduced in the redox reaction AgNO3 plus Na NaNO3 plus Ag?

Silver (Ag)


In the redox reaction AgNO3 plus Na NaNO3 plus Ag which element has been oxidized?

In this reaction, silver (Ag) has been oxidized. This is because silver changes from an oxidation state of 0 in Ag metal to an oxidation state of +1 in AgNO3. Oxidation involves the loss of electrons.


In the redox reaction AgNO3 plus Na NaNo3 plus Ag which element has been reduced?

In the redox reaction, silver (Ag) has been reduced because it gains electrons in forming solid silver (Ag) from silver nitrate (AgNO3).


What species is reduced in the reaction Fe plus AgNO3Fe(NO3)3 plus Ag?

Fe(s) + 3AgNO3 ---> Fe(NO3)3 + Ag(s) The oxidation # of Ag on the left is 1+ and on the right it is zero. It has gained electrons and has been reduced.


When a chlorine atom becomes an ion has it been oxidized or reduced?

A chlorine atom gains an electron when it becomes an ion. This means it has been reduced because there is a decrease in oxidation state from 0 to -1.


When a molecule gains an electron it has been what?

When a molecule gains an electron, it has been reduced.
