MCQ
When a copper wire is placed in a solution of $AgN{O_3}$, the solution acquires blue colour. This is due to the formation of
  • $C{u^{2 + }}$ ions
  • B
    $C{u^ + }$ ions
  • C
    Soluble complex of copper with $AgN{O_3}$
  • D
    $C{u^ - }$ ion by the reduction of $Cu$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$C{u^{2 + }}$ ions
a
(a)Since, $A{g^ + }$ ions are reduced to $Ag$  and $E_{A{g^ + }/Ag}^o > E_{C{u^{ + 2 }}/Cu}^o$ $Cu$  is oxidized to $C{u^{ + 2 }}$.
