A chemist wants to extract magnesium from magnesium chloride (MgCl₂). Discuss the possible methods and outline the role of electrode potential in this process.
💡 Hint: Consider the position of magnesium in the electrochemical series compared to sodium and potassium.
Given two metals, lead (Pb) with an electrode potential of -0.13V and cobalt (Co) with -0.28V, determine which is the better reducing agent and explain your reasoning.
💡 Hint: Remember, less negative values are preferable!
