Magnesium undergoes reaction with aqueous iron(II) ions. $\text{Mg} + \text{Fe}^{2+} \rightarrow \text{Mg}^{2+} + \text{Fe}$ Explain why this reaction includes both oxidation and reduction. Refer to the equation and to electron transfer in your response.
Explain why iron is able to conduct electricity.
Explain why magnesium is extracted by electrolysis instead of by reduction with carbon.
Describe a chemical test that distinguishes aqueous iron(II) ions from aqueous iron(III) ions. test used observations for aqueous iron(II) ions observations for aqueous iron(III) ions
