Which half-reaction correctly represents oxidation?
Leokris [45]

Answer: Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^- represents oxidation.

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Example: Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Example: Mg^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Mg

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^- represents oxidation.

kozerog [31]
Properties of a solution that depend only on the ratio of the number of particles of solute and solvent in the solution are known as colligative properties. For this problem, we use boiling point elevation concept.

ΔT(boiling point)  = (Kb)mi
ΔT(boiling point)  = (0.51 C-kg / mol )(4.0 mol / 2.05 kg ) (2)
ΔT(boiling point)  = 1.99 C

T(boiling point) = 101.99 C
