Options
- AThe equivalent weight of is .
- BThree moles of are required in the reaction.
- C acts as an oxidising agent.
- D gets reduced.
Correct answer
C. acts as an oxidising agent.
Step-by-step solution
Oxidation :&
Reduction :~\left\left[Ag\left({NH}_{3}\right)2\right] + + e^{-} ⟶ Ag + {NH}_{3}\right] \times 2{CH}_{3}CHO + 2\left[Ag\left({NH}_{3}\right)2\right] + + 3\overset{¯}{O}H ⟶ {CH}_{3}O\overset{¯}{O} + 2{H}_{2}O
Molecular mass \left(M\right)
Since aldehyde is getting oxidised therefore, it is acting as reducing agent and not oxidising agent.
