Question

fill in the missing words
in the reaction 2ag⁺(aq) + zn(s) → 2ag(s) + zn²⁺(aq), ions of silver got
blank and metallic zinc got blank. ag⁺ is blank, and zn(s) is
blank. also, this type of chemical equation is called a net blank.

Explanation:

In a redox reaction, the species that gains electrons is reduced, and the species that loses electrons is oxidized. The reducing agent donates electrons and is oxidized, while the oxidizing agent accepts electrons and is reduced. A net - ionic equation shows only the species that participate in the reaction. In the given reaction, silver ions gain electrons to form silver metal (reduction), zinc metal loses electrons to form zinc ions (oxidation). Zinc is the reducing agent as it causes the reduction of silver ions, and silver ions are the oxidizing agent as they cause the oxidation of zinc. And the equation is a net - ionic equation as it shows the actual species undergoing change in the reaction.

Answer:

reduced, oxidized, oxidizing agent, reducing agent, ionic equation
