What would be the oxidation and reduction half reactions for this equation?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻   OXIDATION

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s)   REDUCTION

Explanation:

The redox reaction is: MgCl₂(aq) + Fe(s) → FeCl₂(aq) + Mg(s)

We need to know that elements in ground state have 0 as the oxidation state.

Iron in the reactants, and Mg in the products

In the magnessium chloride, the Mg acts with+2, so the oxidation state has decreased → REDUCTION

In the iron(II) chloride, the Fe acts with +2, so the oxidation statehas increased → OXIDATION

The half reactions are:

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻   OXIDATION

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s)   REDUCTION

The Solar System[b] is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly.[c] Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the eight planets,[d] with the remainder being smaller objects, the dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly—the natural satellites—two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.[e]

nydimaria [60]
I don't know this article, but I do know some major changes: first, the change from the plum pudding model (no nucleus, just electrons) to the gold foil experiment, which had Rutherford shoot alpha particles at a sheet of gold only to find them rebounding, proving the existence of a positively charged mass, i.e a nucleus, in the atom. However, this changed again when Bohr realized that the negatively charged electrons should be attracted to the positively charged center, so that there must be something else inside the nucleus.
