Answer: Mg is being oxidized.

Explanation:

The chemical equation for magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and an aqueous solution of magnesium (II) chloride.

Mg(s)+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)

Oxidation reaction : When there is a loss of electrons and an increase in oxidation state number.

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

Reduction reaction : when there is gain of electrons and a decrease in oxidation state number.

2H^{+}+2e^-\rightarrow H_2

Thus Mg is being oxidized.

Why is a thermocouple a good device for indicating the temperature<br><br> in a car engine?
Anna35 [415]

A thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature. Thermocouples are made with two wires of different metals, joined together at one end to form a junction. ... Naturally, a thermocouple outputs a millivolt signal, therefore, as the resistance changes, the change in voltage can be measured.
