Question

A piece of magnesium ribbon is dipped in CuSo4 solution after some Cu is found to get diposited on the ribbon what is the oxidation reaction takes place in here

Answer 1

Answer:

Mg -> MgSo4

Explanation:

CuSO4 + Mg -> MgSO4 + Cu

now to calculate oxidation no. of Cu in CuSO4

x + (-2)=0

x=2

oxidation no. of Cu is 0 after reaction.

so Cu goes from +2 to 0 means it's reduced.

which means Mg is oxidised.
