Expert Solution
Step 1

We have following redox reaction

Mg (s) + Cr+3 (aq)  → Mg+2 (aq)+ Cr(s)

Step 1:

Separate the overall reaction into two half reactions: One for oxidation and one for reduction.

Oxidation: Mg(s) --> Mg+2 (aq)

Reduction: Cr+3 (aq) --> Cr(s)

In these half reactions all elements are balanced. Hence in the next step we need to balance the charge.
