According to classical idea of redox reactions the given example is of
2 Mg(s) + O2 (g) → 2 MgO(s)
Oxidation
Reduction
Redox reaction
All the these
This is an example of oxidation as we can see oxygen is added.
Which of the following is oxidising agent in \( 2Mg +O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 2MgO (s)\)
Which of the following reactions is not correct according to the law of conservation of mass ?
(a) 2Mg(s)+O2(g)→2MgO(s)
(b) C3H8(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g)
(c) P4(s)+5O2(g)→P4O10(s)
(d) CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g)
