  • Redox Reaction AgNO3 + NaNO3 + Na: Identifying the Reduced Element
    Ag

    In the redox reaction AgNO3 + Na → NaNO3 + Ag, Ag is reduced. This is because Ag is gaining electrons, going from a +1 oxidation state in AgNO3 to a 0 oxidation state in Ag. Na is oxidized, going from a 0 oxidation state in Na to a +1 oxidation state in NaNO3.
