  • Electron Transfer in AgNO3 + Na + NaNO3 Redox Reaction
    To determine the number of electrons transferred in the redox reaction involving AgNO3, Na, and NaNO3 with Ag as the product, we need to identify the oxidation and reduction half-reactions.

    Oxidation half-reaction (loss of electrons):

    Na → Na+ + e-

    Reduction half-reaction (gain of electrons):

    Ag+ + e- → Ag

    To balance the overall redox reaction, we need to ensure that the total number of electrons lost in the oxidation half-reaction is equal to the total number of electrons gained in the reduction half-reaction. In this case, one electron is lost in the oxidation of Na, and one electron is gained in the reduction of Ag+.

    Therefore, the number of electrons transferred in the redox reaction AgNO3 plus Na NaNO3 Ag is one electron.
