Question

Redox reaction involves reaction between:

• A. The electrolytic cell when fused $MgC{l}_2$ is subjected to electrolysis
• B. When fused $MgC{l}_2$ is heated
• C. When fused $MgC{O}_3$ is strongly heated
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The electrolytic cell when fused $MgC{l}_2$ is subjected to electrolysis

In the electrolytic cell when fused $MgC{l}_2$ is subjected to electrolysis
$M{g}^{+2}$ gets reduced to $Mg$ and $C{l}^{-}$ gets oxidised to $C{l}_2$.
So this is a redox reaction.
