during the electrolysis of magnesium chloride, magnesium is formed. Complete the half equation of the following reaction. Mg2+. chlorine is also formed at the anode. complete the half equation to the following reaction.
The half reactions of Magnesium chloride "MgCl_2" are-
At Cathode:- Magnesium ion is reduced to solid Magnesium.
"\\text {Mg}_{(aq)}^{2+}+2\\text{e}^{-}\\rightarrow\\text{Mg}_{(s)}"
At Anode:- Chlorine ion is oxidised to form chlorine gas.
"2\\text{Cl}^-_{(aq)}\\rightarrow \\text{Cl}_{2(g)}+2\\text{e}^-"
