It is true some food products labeled as baby carrots are made by cutting down larger roots, and that these items can be treated with chlorine during processing. However, itâs not true thereâs anything wrong with the larger carrots theyâre made from, or that the resultant vegetables reach consumers in a chlorine-soaked state.
The silver is reduced to elemental silver and the copper is oxidized to copper(II): Cu(0) + 2AgNO 3 = Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2Ag(0). The silver crystallizes at the surface of the copper and the copper wire quickly becomes coated with a bunch of elemental silver.
Thus nitrate is reduced to NO, while the tin electrode is oxidized to Sn2+. 1  Because the reduction reaction occurs at the Pt electrode, it is the cathode. 2  B Electrons flow from the tin electrode through the wire to the platinum electrode, where they transfer to nitrate.
