<span>Oxidation is the loss of electrons and corresponds to an increase in oxidation state. The reduction is the gain of electrons and corresponds to a decrease in oxidation state. Balancing redox reactions can be more complicated than balancing other types of reactions because both the mass and charge must be balanced. Redox reactions occurring in aqueous solutions can be balanced by using a special procedure called the half-reaction method of balancing. In this procedure, the overall equation is broken down into two half-reactions: one for oxidation and the other for reduction. The half-reactions are balanced individually and then added together so that the number of electrons generated in the oxidation half-reaction is the same as the number of electrons consumed in the reduction half-reaction.</span>

When writing an ionic compound formula, a "molecular" form is used. The formula is made with allowance for ion charges.
For example,
Ca²⁺ and NO₃⁻ ⇒ Ca(NO₃)₂
Al³⁺ and SO₄²⁻ ⇒ Al₂(SO₄)₃
Answer:
One of the errors for low percentage of magnesium could be because not all the magnesium may have reacted.
Explanation:
During the heating process, if the magnesium have not reacted completely, it can lead to low percentage of magnesium in the oxide formed. The product may still look a bit greyish rather than whitish after the heating process.
