Answer : The oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).
Explanation :
Oxidation number or oxidation state : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.
Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.
Rules for Oxidation Numbers are :
The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.
The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.
The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.
The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2.
The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.
The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.
The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.
The given chemical reaction is:
In the given reaction, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0) because it is a free element and the oxidation state of Mg in 
is (+2).
Hence, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).
Answer:
310.53 g of Cu.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
CuSO₄ + Zn —> ZnSO₄ + Cu
Next, we shall determine the mass of CuSO₄ that reacted and the mass Cu produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:
Molar mass of CuSO₄ = 63.5 + 32 + (16×4)
= 63.5 + 32 + 64
= 159.5 g/mol
Mass of CuSO₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 159.5 = 159.5 g
Molar mass of Cu = 63.5 g/mol
Mass of Cu from the balanced equation = 1 × 63.5 = 63.5 g
Summary:
From the balanced equation above,
159.5 g of CuSO₄ reacted to produce 63.5 g of Cu.
Finally, we shall determine the mass of Cu produced by the reaction of 780 g of CuSO₄. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
159.5 g of CuSO₄ reacted to produce 63.5 g of Cu.
Therefore, 780 g of CuSO₄ will react to produce = (780 × 63.5)/159.5 = 310.53 g of Cu.
Thus, 310.53 g of Cu were obtained from the reaction.

SiO2 is the only possible choice because the other formulas contain metals. how do we know this? because the other formulas contain elements located on the left of the “staircase” on the periodic table that separates metals from non-metals.
