The first reaction is of a strong oxidizer (HNO3) with a metal (Cu) to produce copper nitrate, nitrogen dioxide, and water. Indicate the oxidation state of each element (atom) in the reactants and products. Describe which species was oxidized, and which species was reduced in this reaction (where did the electrons come from and where did they go?). (Reaction 1) Cu(s) + HNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + H2O(l) + NO2(g)
