How many electrons are transferred in the following oxidation-reduction reaction? Zn(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) $\rightarrow$Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Ag(s) A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4 E) 5

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this reaction, Zn is oxidized to Zn2+ and two Ag+ ions are reduced to Ag. This means that two electrons are transferred from each Ag+ ion to one Zn atom. Therefore, a total of 2 electrons are transferred in this reaction.
