What is the oxidizing agent in the redox reaction represented by the following cell notation?
$\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ Ni(s) | Ni²⁺(aq) $\|$ Ag⁺(aq) | Ag(s)

Question

What is the oxidizing agent in the redox reaction represented by the following cell notation? $\quad$$\quad$$\quad$Ni(s)| Ni²⁺(aq) $\|$ Ag⁺(aq)| Ag(s)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the given cell notation, the reaction is occurring in such a way that Ni is being oxidized to Ni²⁺, while Ag⁺ is being reduced to Ag. Therefore, Ni is the reducing agent while Ag⁺ is the oxidizing agent. So, the correct answer is (C) Ag⁺(aq).
