@nincompoop

sam (.sam.):

What do you know about redox reactions?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Cd is more easily oxidized than Pt

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I think the Pt is plating the Cd, right?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Which means that the Pt is going from a cation to metal thus it is being reduced.

sam (.sam.):

Yes when Pt is reduced then it is the oxidising agent

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Sweet, and Cd is the reducing agent, right?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Cd metal.

sam (.sam.):

And cadmium went from 0 to 2+, which is oxidised

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Awesome, thanks so much!
