Solution:

Unbalanced redox equation: NO + Cu2+ → NO3 + Cu

Oxidation half-reaction:

NO + 2H2O − 3e→ NO3 + 4H+

Reduction half-reaction:

Cu2+ + 2e− → Cu

Net reaction:

2NO + 4H2O + 3Cu2+ → 2NO3 + 8H+ + 3Cu

Balanced redox equation: 2NO + 4H2O + 3Cu2+ → 2NO3 + 8H+ + 3Cu


NO acts as reducing agent

Cu2+ acts as oxidizing agent
