30. Which is evidence that the single replacement reaction shown below is also a redox reaction? Cu + 2AgNO3 ¡æ Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag (2 points) The reaction involves the element oxygen. There are four different elements in the reaction. Silver is in a compound as a reactant, but is a pure element as a product. The nitrate ion, NO3−, does not split apart during the reaction.

@saifoo.khan Do you know anyone that could help me with this? I'm supposed to be in a physical science honors class, but I'm being given chem. I have no idea what the answer would be.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

NOOOOO! sorry im NO good with chem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's fine! Do you know anyone who is though?

The answer is "Silver is in a compound as a reactant, but is a pure element as a product." A Redox reaction is where some elements are reduced, and others are oxidized. The statement shows that silver is reduced.

Okay! Thanks! That was really helpful. :)

When any metal undergoes Reduction only then it is obtained. As metals form + ions!

Silver so from + to 0 = Reduction Cu from 0 to +=oxidation For any reaction to be a redox there must be oxidation and reduction at the same time not just only reduction or oxidation. Hope that helps
