The oxidation state of the atoms of any molecule in the element state equals zero. H2 is is the element state, therefore the oxidation state of the whole molecule equals zero and the oxidation states of the atoms also equals zero. Answer letter D is the correct answer. 
Magnesium has an oxidation state = zero before it undergoes the reaction and is oxidized. The oxidations state of the magnesium in Mg(OH)2 is +2.

In a 0.20 M solution, a weak acid is 3.0% dissociated.(a) Calculate the [H₃O⁺] , pH , [OH⁻], and pOH of the solution.
marin [14]

H₃O⁺ = 6.0×10^{-3}

OH = 1.7×10^{-12}

pH = 2.22

pOH = 11.78

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

The term pH, which originally stood for "potential of hydrogen" (or "power of hydrogen"), is used in chemistry to describe how acidic or basic an aqueous solution is. Lower pH values are summarized for acidic solutions (solutions with higher H+ ion concentrations) than for basic or alkaline solutions.

The pH scale is inversely indicates to the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and is logarithmic.

⇒pH = -log(a_{H+})

Acidic solutions are those with a pH below 7, and basic solutions are those with a pH above 7, at a temperature of 25 °C (77 °F). At this temperature, solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral (e.g. pure water). The pH neutrality relies on temperature, falling below 7 if the temperature rises above 25 °C.

What is the purpose of a salt bridge?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

A salt bridge refers to a device used to form an electrochemical cell by providing a means to support the free flow of ions between the oxidation and reduction half-cell components. A salt bridge facilitates corrosion because corrosive reactions typically occur in the presence of electrochemical cells.
