Question

Which of the reactants act as oxidant or reductant if any:

$\left[Ag\right(N{H}_3{)}_2{]}^{+}+2H^{+}\to A{g}^{+}+2N{H}_4^{+}$

• A. $\left[Ag\right(N{H}_3{)}_2{]}^{+}$
• B. $H^{+}$
• C. Both of these
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D None of these

There is no change in oxidation stage of Ag or N or H .
It is not a redox reaction.
Neither oxidation nor reduction occur as there is no change in oxidation state.
Therefore, it is neither oxidant nor reductant.
