Mg + I2 arrow MgI2 which is the oxidizing agent, and which is the reducing agent

When you oxidize something you are removing electrons
When you reduce something you're adding electrons
So the one that is gaining electrons is oxidizing the other substance by taking away relectrons from it and the one losing electrons is reducing the other substance by adding electrons to it.
You can figure out which is which by looking at the charge of each substance
Mg has a charge of 2+ because it had 2 electrons in its outer shell which it will lose to have a full outer shell.
I has a charge of -1 because it has 7 electrons in its outer shell and it gains 1 to have a full outer shell.
Mg is giving electrons to I so it's reducing it and is the reducing agent
I is taking electrons from Mg so it's oxidizing it and is the oxidizing agent.

Which list of elements from Group 2 on the Periodic Table is arranged in order of increasing atomic radius?
IgorC [24]
The correct answer is option 1. Be, Mg, and Ca is the correct order arranged in increasing atomic radius. This is predicted based on the periodic table. The atomic sizes increases as one moves downwards in the periodic table.

What is the most appropriate unit of astronomical distance to represent the distance between an earth an orbiting space station
Reil [10]
Astronauts use "Astronomical Unit" to measure the distance between planets in our solar system "only". To measure long distances like between 2 galaxies, they use "light years". One Astronomical Unit = Average distance between sun and earth which is equal to 149.6 million kilometers. Ping me if you have any doubt.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

1.00 M

Explanation:

Sn^2+ reacts with KMNO4 as follows;

5Sn^2+(aq) + 2MnO4^-(aq) + 16H^+(aq) ----> 5Sn^4+(aq) + 2Mn^+(aq) + 8H2O(l)

The number of moles of MnO4^- reacted = 42.1/1000 L × 0.145 mol/L

= 0.0061 moles

If 5 moles of Sn^2+ reacts with 2 moles of MnO4^-

x moles of Sn^2+ reacts with 0.0061 moles of MnO4^-

x= 5 × 0.0061/2

x= 0.015 moles

Since the volume of the Sn^2+ solution is 15.00mL or 0.015 L

number of moles = concentration × volume

Concentration = number of moles/volume

Concentration= 0.015 moles/0.015 L

Concentration = 1 M
