Question

write the reaction between magnesium and Selenium​

Answer 1

Answer:

Previous studies showed that administration of magnesium (100 mg Mg/l water) together with selenium (0.4 mg Se/l water) significantly enhances antioxidant defences against alcohol-induced oxidative stress, disturbance of liver function and cholesterol metabolism [23].

Answer 2

Answer:

When Magnesium reacts with Selenium the following balanced reaction takes place:

Mg + Se → MgSe

Magnesium selenide is formed.

Explanation:

• Magnesium together with Selenium forms Magnesium selenide which increases the antioxidant defences to reduce cholesterol metabolism and alcohol induced oxidative stress.
• The formula of Magnesium selenide is MgSe.
• It is a brown coloured compound.
• It is a crystalline solid.
