cuanchi · Answer

Cu is +2 and con go to Cu zero
Cu+2 -> Cu (s)

rushwr · Answer

an oxidising agent maybe ?

photon336 · Answer

$$CuCl _{2} ---> Cu ^{2+} + 2Cl ^{-}$$ 

it's an electrolyte i believe b/c it dissolves in water. (insoluble in water and non electrolyte can be viewed as the same)  so I eliminated both of those. 

it's either oxidizing or reducing agent.

I'm going to post more redox/electrochemistry questions today

photon336 · Answer

@cuanchi so i guess based off of that, in the equation Cu is +2 so it has to be reduced, so it's an oxidizing agent. causes oxidation but is itself reduced.

@Rushwr found an electrochem practice exam will post it.
