Chemistry Question #3

[charlotteduckett]

Identify which of the following are redox reactions. If a reaction is a redox reaction, name the element oxidized, the element reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent.
a. Mg(s)+ Br2(l) ----> MgBr2(s)
b. H2CO3(aq) ----> H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Maybe try a manners course before attempting chemistry.

Redox (short for reduction–oxidation reaction) is a chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed.
Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.

No just put a bit of thought into it.

If you are finding these difficult and don't know how to research these yourself then have a word with your tutor and maybe ask whether this is the course for you

We were taught the mnemonic OILRIG.
Oxidation Is Loss (of electrons)
Reduction Is Gain.
