In balancing reactions, the number of atoms on each side should be of equal number. It is the most important rule in reactions. Also, we should know the correct substances involved in the reaction. We do as follows:
2K + MgBr2 = 2KBr + Mg
Answer:
Cu
Fe
Explanation:
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
a) Cu²⁺ (aq) + Mg(s) + Cu(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)
Copper is oxidizing agent it accept two electrons from magnesium and oxidize the Mg and itself get reduced.
b) Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(l) + 3CO₂(g)
In this reaction iron is oxidizing agent because iron itself reduced from +3 to 0.
