<span>The substance that is produced at the cathode during the electrolysis of a mixture of molten calcium bromide, cabr2(I), and molten magnesium iodide, mgi2(I), can be expressed as Ca2+ + 2eâ’ --> Ca. At the anode, the substance can be expressed as 2Brâ’ â’ 2eâ’ --> Br2. At the cathode for magnesium iodide can be expressed as Mg2+ + 2 eâ’ --> Mg, and 2 Iâ’ â’ 2 eâ’ --> I2 at the anode.</span>
Answer:
Because of the less reactivity of copper.
Explanation:
As well as being resistant to the elements and thereby less likely to be affected by rainfall, hail, and mildew than other types of roofing, copper is also one of the most fireproof materials available. Copper is also highly resistant to thermal changes and thereby doesn't deteriorate quickly.
Magnesium would also corrode PDQ. Magnesium sheeting would also pose an unacceptably high fire hazard.
