In the chemical reaction, Ag(2)O+H(2)...

In the chemical reaction,
`Ag_(2)O+H_(2)O+2e^(-) to 2Ag+2OH^(-)`

A

Water is oxidised

B

Silver is oxidised

C

Silver is reduced

D

Hydrogen is reduced

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`overset((+1))(Ag_(2)O)+H_(2)O+2e^(-)rarroverset((0))(2Ag)+2OH^(-)`
Ag decreases it O.N. Hence it is reduced.
