Answer:
Mg
Explanation:
Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu
Magnesium is oxidized because its oxidation state increased from 0 to +2 while Cu is reduced because its oxidation state decreased from +2 to 0.
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.
<em>Consider the following reactions.
</em>
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O
The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
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.
Answer:
The Law of Definite Proportions ensures that chemical compounds are always created using the same proportions, regardless of the amount of the compound which is being made
They are used to make plane bodies.
Some are used for electrical wires eg copper because they are good conductors of electricity.
Used in building materials.
used to make jewelry eg gold and silver<span />
