Given the balanced ionic equation representing a reaction: Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) Cu2+(aq) + 2Ag(s) During this reaction, electrons are transferred from *

Respuesta :

A redox reaction equation is one in which a specie looses electrons and another specie gains electrons.

Redox reaction is a give and take process. One chemical specie loose electrons to be accepted by another chemical specie.

In this case, copper looses electrons as follows;

[tex]Cu(s) -----> Cu^2+(aq) + 2e[/tex]

Silver gains electrons as follows;

[tex]2Ag^+(aq) + 2e ------> 2Ag(s)[/tex]

Overall redox balanced ionic equation;

[tex]Cu(s) + 2Ag^+(aq) ------>Cu^2+(aq) + 2Ag(s)[/tex]

We can see from the overall equation that electrons are transferred from copper to silver.
