Question

identify the oxidation and reduction agents in the following reaction .

(a) magnesium oxide react with sodium to give sodium oxide and magnesium

(b) potassium react with aluminium chloride to give aluminium chloride and potassium

(c) magnesium oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid to give magnesium chloride , chlorine and water​​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

in 1st one magnesium is getting reduced so its reduction agent and sodium is oxidising agent

in 2nd one no oxidising agent or reducing since no reaction

in 3rd one  magnesium  and hcl are reduced(becz this is redox reaction the reaction in which both oxidation and reduction take place simentaineously) and hcl is getting oxidised
