The Mg element is the reducing agent and the Fe element is the oxidizing agent

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The oxidation-reduction reaction or abbreviated as Redox is a chemical reaction in which there is a change in oxidation number

3 basic theories explain this Redox concept:

  • 1. Binding/release of oxygen

The oxidation reaction is the binding of a substance with oxygen. (O₂)

For example:

2SO₂ + O₂ ----> 2SO₃

The reduction reaction is the release of oxygen from a substance.

For example:

2CuO → 2Cu + O₂

  • 2. Electron release / binding reaction

Oxidation is an electron release event

Example:

2F ---> 2Fe³⁺ + 6e⁻

The reduction is an electron capture event

Example:

3O₂ + 6e⁻ ---> 3O²⁻

  • 3. The reaction of addition/reduction of oxidation number

Oxidation is an increase/increase in oxidation number, while reduction is a decrease in oxidation number.

In the redox reaction, it is also known

Reducing agents are substances that experience oxidation

The oxidizing agent is a substance that is reduced

The formula for determining Oxidation Numbers in general:

1. Single element atomic oxidation number = 0. Examples of Ar, Mg, Cu, Fe, N₂, O₂, etc. = 0

Group IA (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr): +1

Group IIA (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba): +2

H in compound = +1, except metal hydride compounds (Hydrogen which binds to IA or IIA groups) oxidation number H= -1, for example, LiH, MgH₂, etc.

2. Oxidation number O in compound = -2, except OF2 = + 2 and in peroxide (Na₂O₂, BaO₂) = -1 and superoxide, for example KO₂ = -1/2.

3 The oxidation number in an uncharged compound = 0,

Total oxidation number in ion = ion charge, Example NO₃⁻ = -1

Redox reactions are reactions that are accompanied by changes in oxidation numbers, so what must be examined is whether there are elements that experience changes in oxidation numbers in the reaction

Let's look at the reaction

Mg(s)+Fe²⁺(aq)→Mg²⁺(aq)+Fe(s)

Let see the change in the oxidation number of each element

Mg on the left = 0 (single element)

Fe²⁺ on the left = +2 ( ion charge)

Mg on the right = +2 ( ion charge)

Fe on the right = 0 (single element)

Means that the element Mg has increased oxidation number from 0 to +2 so that it experiences an oxidation reaction and acts as a reducing agent

While Fe has decreased the oxidation number from +2 to 0, so it has a reduction reaction and acts as an oxidizer

Fe^2+ makes Mg go from 0 to 2+, Fe^2+ is the oxidizing, Mg makes Fe^2+ go from 2+ to 0, Mg is the reducing. 

Fe^2+ is a chemical symbol for ferrous in chemistry. Ferrous refers to iron with oxidation number of +2, denoted iron(II) or Fe2+.
Mg is a chemical symbol for Magnesium in chemistry.

Why does food have potential energy?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

So that if we feel weak, energy is released through it so we can do work and do stuff like walk or think. It's like stored energy that can do things for the future.

If a molecule diffusing through extracellular fluid travels 1 mm in 1 sec, how long will it take that molecule to diffuse 1 cm?
stealth61 [152]
To determine the time, we can simply do dimensional analysis from the given values. We are given the distance the fluid travels per sec and we are given the required distance to travel. Therefore, we simply divide the required distance with the rate given. It is important to take note with the units. 

t = .01 m / .001 m/s = 10 s

Each atom of protium has one proton, no neutrons, and one electron.Each atom of deutrium has one proton, two neutrons, and one e
Ket [755]

Answer:

These are the isotopes of same element. i.e. hydrogen.

Explanation:

Protium and deutrium are the isotopes of hydrogen.

Isotope:

Atoms of same elements can have different atomic mass but same atomic number . These atom of an elements are called isotopes.

Hydrogen consist of three stable isotopes protium, deutrium  and tritium.

These three isotopes are represented as H¹₁ , H²₁ and H³₁ respectively.

Protium consist of one proton and one electron while deutrium consist of one proton , one neutron and one electron. The number of neutron and proton is called mass number while number of electron or proton is called atomic number. The number of proton and electron are always same.That's why protium and deutrium have same atomic number but different atomic mass because there is no neutron present in protium that's why its atomic mass is less than by one from deutrium.

When the pH decreases from 6 to 3, the hydrogen ion, H+, increases by what?
Irina-Kira [14]

pH decreases as the hydrogen ion concentration increases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When there is a decrease in pH, that is pH decreases from 6 to 3 then the acidity increases.

That is the pH is between 1 to 7 then it is acidic

When the pH is 7 then it is neutral

When the pH is between  7 to 14 then it is basic

As the H⁺ ion concentration increases, then the pH value decreases, here pH decreases from 6 to 3.

So the concentration of Hydrogen ion increases, pH decreases.
