What is the oxidation half-reaction for 2Mg + O2 + 2Mgo? A. O2 + 4e + 202-
B. 202- → 02 + 4e
C. Mg2+ + 2e → Mg
O D. Mg → Mg2+ + 2e

OPTION C is correct

When magnesium burns, it combines with oxygen (O2) from the air to form magnesium oxide (MgO) according to the following equation: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound containing Mg2+ and O2− ions whereas Mg(s) and O2(g) are elements with no charges.

happy children's day to all of you

I m new on brainl y.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
