Question
Identify the atoms that are oxidized and reduced, the change in oxidation state
for each, and the oxidizing and reducing agents in each of the following
equations:
Note, for the change in oxidation state, give the total change for that element. E.g.
Br2 2Br; each bromine atom gains 1 electron (ox state = 0 → ox state = -1), for a
%3D
total gain of 2 electrons (total change of -2)
(a) Mg(s) + NiCl2(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + Ni(s)
atom oxidized: [Select]
its change in oxidation state:
[ Select ]
atom reduced: Mg , its change in oxidation state:
[ Select ]
oxidizing agent: [ Select ]
reducing agent:
[ Select ]
