Metal X is added to a solution containing silver ions. Silver metal is formed. The balanced ionic equation for the reaction is:
X(s)+3Ag+(aq)→Xn+(aq)+3Ag(s) \text{X}(s) + 3\text{Ag}^{+}(aq) \rightarrow \text{X}^{n+}(aq) + 3\text{Ag}(s) X(s)+3Ag+(aq)→Xn+(aq)+3Ag(s)Deduce the value of n.
Give a reason for your answer.
Write a half equation for the change that happens to X.
