Answer:

6 moles of electrons

Explanation:

Let us consider the species NO3− and ClO−. The NO3− is oxidized to NO the oxidation number of nitrogen is decreased from +5 to +2.

The oxidation number of chlorine is increased from +1 to +3. This implies that six electrons were transferred in the balanced reaction equation shown in the question. Hence the answer.

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.
