Consider the reaction that occurs when copper is added to nitric acid. Upper C u (s) plus 4 upper H upper N upper O subscript 3 (a q) right arrow upper C u (upper N upper O subscript 3) subscript 2 (a q) plus 2 upper N upper O 2 (g) plus 2 upper H 2 upper o (l). What is the reducing agent in this reaction? Cu NO3– Cu(NO3)2 NO2
