Redox Equation and Half equation 2Mg+ O2 → 2MgO 0 0 +2 -2 The diagram above shows that Mg to Mg 2+ is oxidation (reducing agent) O2 to O2- reduction occurs (oxidizing agent) Half equation Some reactions maybe written in 2 halves (the oxidation half and the reduction half). The 2 parts are called the…
