Question:
Using the following reaction
{eq}Mg(s) + 2 AgCl(s) \rightarrow MgCl_2(aq) + 2 Ag(s) {/eq}
Write the oxidation half-reaction.
Half-reactions:
In a redox reaction, both oxidation and reduction of the same or different chemical species take place. When oxidation or reduction reactions from a redox reaction are written separately, then it is known as half-reactions.
