Oxidation Potential and Reactivity
- Oxidation potential indicates how easily an element can lose electrons (undergo oxidation). A higher oxidation potential means a stronger tendency to lose electrons and act as a reducing agent.
- In displacement reactions, a more reactive metal (with higher oxidation potential) can displace a less reactive metal from its compound.
EXPLANATION:
- The oxidation potential of Mg is +2.37 V, which is higher than that of Al (+1.66 V).
- Because Mg has a higher oxidation potential, it is more likely to lose electrons and undergo oxidation compared to Al.
- As a result, Mg can replace Al in a chemical reaction, indicating that Mg is more reactive.
The correct answer is (1) will replace Al.
