Question

Question 5 of 10

Answer 1

Chemical equation represents a redox reaction :

2Li + MgCl₂ → 2LiCl + Mg

Further explanation

The oxidation-reduction reaction or abbreviated as Redox is a chemical reaction in which there is a change in oxidation number

Reaction

2Li + MgCl₂ → 2LiCl + Mg

Oxidation is an increase in oxidation number, while reduction is a decrease in oxidation number.

Oxidation

$\tt Li\rightarrow Li^+(0~to~+1)$

Reduction

$\tt Mg^{+2}\rightarrow Mg(+2~to~0)$
