Question

name the reducing agent in the following reaction mno2+4Al_3m+2Al2o3 state which is more reative mg or Al and why ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Al is more reactive because it displaced manganese from its oxide and Al is the reducing agent here because it had reduced MnO2 to MN and itself oxidised to Al2O3...

Answer 2

Answer:

Al is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

a reducing agent means the reactant which is getting oxidized.

here, Al is getting oxidized and thus it is the reducing agent in this reaction.

Among Mg and Al, Mg is more reactive as it lying above Al in the reactivity series.
