Analyze the following equations and list the oxidized atom, reduced atom, oxidizing agent and reducing agent. (a) Mg + F2 → MgF2 (b) 2Na + Cl → NaCl

Answer»

(a) Oxidized atom — Mg

Equation of oxidation — Mg → Mg²⁺ + 2e^-

Reduced atom — F

Equation of reduction — F + e^- → F^-

Oxidizing agent — F

Reducing agent — Mg

(b) Oxidized atom — Na

Equation of oxidation — Na → Na + 1e^-

Reduced atom — Cl

Equation of reduction — Cl + 1e^- → Cl^-

Oxidizing agent — Na

Reducing agent — Cl
