Cu(s) + 4HNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
Cu2+(aq) + 4NH3(aq) --> [Cu(NH3)4]2+(aq)
a. For each reaction, identify the oxidation number for each of the
elements on both sides of the equation.
b. Which of the reactions above is a redox reaction? Explain.
c. Identify the element that is being reduced and the one that is being oxidized in the redox reaction.
d. Identify the strong oxidizing agent and strong reducing agent
in the redox reaction.
The oxidation states are as follows
Cu --> 0
HNO3 --> H(+1) , N(+5) , O(-2)
Cu(NO3)2 ---> Cu (+2) , N(+5) , O(-2)
NO2 ---> N (+4) , O(-2)
H2O ---> H(+1) , O(-2)
0 +5 +2 +4
Cu(s) + 4HNO3 -----> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
Oxidation half reaction :Cu(s) -----> Cu(NO3)2(aq)
Reduction half reaction : HNO3 -----> NO2(g)
Here the oxidation state of Cu increases from 0(in Cu) to +2(in Cu(NO3)2) so Cu is oxidized and the oxidation state of N decreases from +5(in HNO3) to +4(in NO2) so N is reduced

Cu2+(aq) + 4NH3(aq) --> [Cu(NH3)4]2+(aq)
Here the oxidation state of the elements neither changes so it not a redox reaction.
