Question

write the overall, balanced molecular equation and indicate which element is oxidized and which id reduced for the following reactions. Include phase abbreviations.
a) Mg(s)+Cr(C2H3O2)3(aq)--->?

b) Cd(s)+AgNO3(ag)---->?

Answer 1

Amanda--What don't you understand about the question? These are single replacement reactions which makes them easy to predict the products and determining oxidation states is just a matter of following the rules.

Answer 2

I figured out the products of the reactions i am just having trouble figuring out the oxidation states

Answer 3

Here is a good site for the rules for determining oxidation state. I'll me glad to check your assignment.
