Pregunta 5
Pregunta
What is the equation for the combustion of magnesium in oxygen?
Is it an reduction or oxidation reaction?
Respuesta
Mg + 1/202 = MgO
Reduction reaction
Mg + O2 = MgO
Oxidation reaction
Mg +1/202 = MgO
Oxidation reaction
2Mg + O2 = 2Mgo
Reduction reaction

Pregunta 8
Pregunta
Which one is the correct ionic half equation for the oxidation of Fe^2+ ions.
Respuesta
Fe^2+ (aq) = Fe^3+ (aq) + e^-
Fe^2+ = Fe^2+ + 2e^-
