True
False
Question 5
Question
What is the equation for the combustion of magnesium in oxygen?
Is it an reduction or oxidation reaction?
Answer
Mg + 1/202 = MgO
Reduction reaction
Mg + O2 = MgO
Oxidation reaction
Mg +1/202 = MgO
Oxidation reaction
2Mg + O2 = 2Mgo
Reduction reaction
Question 6
Question
An oxidising agent is a species (atom, molecule or ion) that oxidises another species by removing one or more electrons.

Question 8
Question
Which one is the correct ionic half equation for the oxidation of Fe^2+ ions.
Answer
Fe^2+ (aq) = Fe^3+ (aq) + e^-
Fe^2+ = Fe^2+ + 2e^-
Question 9
Question
