a) Mg is oxidized and O2 is reduced
b) Zn is oxidized while Pb(NO3)2 is reduced.
<h3>Oxidation and reduction</h3>
Oxidation is defined as:
- loss of electrons
- removal of hydrogen
- addition of oxygen
- increase in oxidation number
- removal of electropositive elements
Reduction is defined as:
- gains of electrons
- addition of hydrogen
- removal of oxygen
- decrease in oxidation number
- addition of electropositive elements
Looking at the first reaction, the Mg atom gains oxygen to become MgO. This means that Mg is oxidized. The oxidizing agent is O2. At the same time, O2 is being reduced and the reducing agent is Mg.
For the second reaction, the oxidation number of Pb is reduced from +2 to 0. Thus, Pb has been reduced by Zn while Zn itself has been oxidized. The reducing agent here is Zn while the oxidizing agent is Pb(NO3)2.

The molarity of dilute solution is calculated using M1V1= M2V2 formula
M1 = molarity 1 ( 6.0 m)
V1 = volume 1 ( 445ml)
V2= volume 2 (2.5 x1000 = 2500ml)
M2= molarity 2 = ?
M2 is therefore = M1V1/V2
= 445 ml x 6.0 M/ 2500ml = 1.07 M
