Question 2
A)
Use the chemical equation to answer the question.
2Ag(s) + H S(g) → Ag S(s) + H (g)
Does this equation represent a redox reaction?

2 2 2
Yes, it does because hydrogen (H) undergoes reduction and silver (Ag)
undergoes oxidation.
Yes, it does because silver (Ag) undergoes reduction and hydrogen (H)
undergoes oxidation.
No, it does not because neither hydrogen (H) nor silver (Ag) transfers
electrons.
No, it does not because sulfur (S) does not change oxidation states.

Answer 1

Here are the answers to your questions:

Question 1

A) Which option describes a situation in which reduction occurs?

• Answer: S becoming S²⁻ - This indicates that sulfur is gaining electrons (from S to S²⁻), demonstrating reduction.

Question 2

A) Does this equation represent a redox reaction?

• Answer: Yes, it does because hydrogen (H) undergoes reduction and silver (Ag) undergoes oxidation. - In this reaction, silver is oxidized (losing electrons) and hydrogen is reduced (gaining electrons).

Question 4

A) Which product forms when two or more nonmetal atoms share valence electrons?

• Answer: a covalent compound - When nonmetals share electrons, they form covalent bonds, resulting in covalent compounds.

Question 5

A) Which phrase best defines a galvanic cell?

• Answer: an object that produces electrical energy through redox reactions - A galvanic cell works by converting chemical energy to electrical energy through redox reactions.

Question 6

A) Which phrase best describes oxidation?

• Answer: loss of electrons - Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom or molecule.
