Each multiple choice question is worth 4 points. Circle the BEST answer. Only ONE
answer will be graded--if two are circled--the answer will be counted as WRONG!
1. Consider the following reaction:
Cd(s) + 2AgCl(s) ––> Cd
2+
(aq) + 2Ag(s) + 2Cl
—
(aq)
In this reaction, the reducing agent is
(a) Cd(s)
(b) AgCl(s)
(c) Cd
