Question

PLEASE HELP, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!! TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!!!

Answer 1

This is a redox reaction where oxidation and a reduction occur.

Here, Mg goes to Mg²⁺ by changing its oxidation number from 0 to +2 while S goes to S²⁻ by reducing its oxidation state from 0 to -2 . Hence Mg is oxidized by S in the reaction.

 

Reducing agent is a substance which reduces other substance by oxidizing itself. Hence, the reducing agent of this reaction is Magnesium.
