Answer to Question #121653 in General Chemistry for Naveen

Question

Cd(s)+Sn(NO3)2(aq) -> Cd(NO3)2(aq) + Sn(s)

What is the net equation? What are the spectator ions? Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent

Answer 1

The full ionic equation is:

Cd⁰ + Sn²⁺ + 2NO₃^- --> Cd²⁺ + 2NO₃^- + Sn⁰

The net equation:

Cd⁰ + Sn²⁺ --> Cd²⁺ + Sn⁰

Spectator ion is NO₃^-

Oxidizing agent is Sn(NO₃)₂, redusing agent is Cd.
