    When Cu reacts with \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\] solution, the reaction takes place is  [CPMT 2004]

    A) Oxidation of Cu

    B) Reduction of Cu

    C) Oxidation of Ag

    D) Reduction of \[NO_{3}^{-}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Cu is placed above Ag in electrochemical series, hence it can replace Ag from its salts solution. Therefore the reaction occurs as follows, \[\overset{0}{\mathop{Cu}}\,+AgN{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{\text{Oxidation}}\overset{+1}{\mathop{Cu}}\,N{{O}_{3}}+Ag\]
