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.

Explain how the amount of pressure created by a smaller piston can be the same as the pressure created by a larger piston?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Pascal's principle : Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the fluid, as well as to the walls of the container.

A common application of this is a hydraulic lift used to raise a car off the ground so it can be repaired at a garage. A small force applied to a small-area piston is transformed to a large force at a large-area piston. If a car sits on top of the large piston, it can be lifted by applying a relatively small force to the smaller piston, the ratio of the forces being equal to the ratio of the areas of the pistons.
