Answer:

Electrostatic force

Explanation:

Salts are made up of positive metal ions and negative non-metal ions. The electrostatic force of attraction between the two opposite charges keeps the ions in the salt together.

Write the overall, balanced molecular equation and indicate which element is oxidized and which is reduced for the following rea
REY [17]

Explanation:

Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3 (aq)

Overall, balanced molecular equation

Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3(aq) --> Mg(C2H3O2)3(aq) + Cr(s)

To identify if an element has been reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number is observed in both the reactant and product phase.

An increase in oxidation number denotes that the element has been oxidized.

A decrease in oxidation number denotes that the element has been reduced.

Oxidation number of Mg:

Reactant - 0

Product - +3

Oxidation number of Cr:

Reactant - +3

Product - 0

Note: C2H3O2 is actually acetate ion; CH3COO- The oxidatioon number of C, H and O do not change.

Oxidized : Mg

Reduced : Cr
