You are given the following chemical equation: Mg (s) + CuO (s) -------> MgO (s) + Cu (s)This equation represents:(a) decomposition reaction as well as displacement reaction(b) combination reaction as well as double displacement reaction(c) redox reaction as well as displacement reaction(d) double displacement reaction as well as redox reaction
Correct Answer: (c) redox reaction as well as displacement reaction
Explanation: Redox reaction takes place because magnesium gets oxidised to magnesium oxide and copper(II) oxide is reduced to copper. Magnesium displaces copper in the solution as it is more reactive than copper. Hence it is a displacement reaction.
