Identify the atom oxidized and the atom reduced
Determine the total number of electrons transferred.

a) Mg (s) + Ni$^{2+}$ (aq) $\rightarrow$ Mg$^{2+}$ (aq) + Ni (s)
b) 2Ag$^{+}$ (aq) + Cu (s) $\rightarrow$ Cu$^{2+}$ (aq) + 2Ag (s)
c) C$_2$H$_4$ (g) + 3O$_2$ (g) $\rightarrow$ 2CO$_2$ (g) + 2H$_2$O (g)
d) Zn (s) + H$_2$SO$_4$ (aq) $\rightarrow$ ZnSO$_4$ (aq) + H$_2$ (g)

Determine the oxidation state for all elements in the reaction
Identify the atom oxidized and the atom reduced
Determine the total number of electrons transferred.

a) Mg (s) + Ni^2+ (aq) → Mg^2+ (aq) + Ni (s)
b) 2Ag^+ (aq) + Cu (s) → Cu^2+ (aq) + 2Ag (s)
c) C2H4 (g) + 3O2 (g) → 2CO2 (g) + 2H2O (g)
d) Zn (s) + H2SO4 (aq) → ZnSO4 (aq) + H2 (g)
