    In the following chemical reaction: \[AgO+{{H}_{2}}O+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}2Ag+2O{{H}^{-}}\]             

    A)  hydrogen is reduced        

    B)                   electrons are reduced                          

    C)  water is oxidized

    D)                                   silver is oxidised                                 

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[A{{g}_{2}}O+{{H}_{2}}O+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}2Ag+2O{{H}^{-}}\] In this reaction \[A{{g}^{+}}\] is reduced (oxidising agent) \[{{H}_{2}}O\] is oxidised (reducing agent)
