While metal B is being reduced from an ion to a solid metal, metal A is being oxidized.
Metal A is being displaced because, through oxidation, it transforms from a solid metal to ions in a solution.
What is Oxidation ?
Redox reactions include a change in the oxidation state of the substrate. Loss of electrons or a rise in an element's oxidation state are both considered to be oxidation.
Gaining electrons or lowering the oxidation state of an element or its constituent atoms are both examples of reduction.
In general, the term "reduction" refers to a reaction in which a chemical receives additional electrons; the compound that gets electrons is referred to as being reduced. We can think of the transformation of a ketone or an aldehyde into an alcohol as a two-electron reduction because hydride can be thought of as a proton plus two electrons.
So finally we can say that Metal A is being oxidized.

<span>Avogadro's number.
1 mole of any substance, molecule or element is equal to a certain amount of atom.
6.022 x 10^23 is the Avogradro's constant.
Magnesium Oxide is a compound. therefore if you have 30.3 g of it (1 mol), it will have the same number of atoms.
34.69 moles of MgO has 208.9 x 10^23 number of atoms.
2.089 x 10^25 is also a correct answer.</span><span>
