MgCl2 aq plus Zn s is the oxidation half-reaction for Mg s plus ZnCl2 aq.
It is the zinc that gets reduced, and the magnesium that gets oxidised. This is because zinc has the higher reduction potential of -0,76 V, compared to magnesiums -2,37 V. The oxidation half cell therefore becomes Mg (s) --> Mg2++ 2e-
Type your answer here... Al(s) | Al3+(aq) Mg2+ (aq) | Mg(s)
Mg2+ has the smaller ionic radius compared to Ca2+ because as you move down a group in the periodic table, the ionic radius increases due to the addition of electron shells. Mg and Ca are in the same group, but Ca has more electron shells than Mg, resulting in a larger ionic radius for Ca2+.
The charge of both calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) is +2. Since they both have the same charge, their size is determined by their atomic radius. In general, magnesium with 12 protons has a slightly smaller atomic radius than calcium with 20 protons, making calcium larger than magnesium.
EDTA is used in SDS-PAGE to chelate divalent cations, such as Mg2+ and Ca2+, which can interfere with the denaturation of proteins and disrupt the protein separation process. By removing these cations, EDTA helps to maintain protein stability and integrity during the electrophoresis procedure, leading to more accurate and reliable results.
When Borax is added to water, it reacts with Ca2+ and Mg2+, which come out of water as precipitates. The reactions involved are: Ca2+ + Na2B4O7 ----> CaB4O7 + 2Na+ Mg2+ + Na2B4O7 -----> MgB4O7 + 2Na+

Mg2+ and Ca2+ (and many more!)
EDTA in lysis buffer helps to chelate divalent cations (such as Mg2+ and Ca2+) which are cofactors for nucleases, preventing degradation of nucleic acids. This helps to preserve the integrity of RNA and DNA during the lysis process.
When a Ca2+ ion and a Mg2+ ion are placed in a solution, they will separate due to their interactions with water molecules. The positively charged ions attract the negatively charged ends of water molecules, leading to the formation of hydrated ions that exist as individual entities in the solution. This separation allows each type of ion to interact independently with other substances in the solution.

Calcium ions bind to troponin, leading to a conformational change in the troponin-tropomyosin complex, which allows for the exposure of myosin-binding sites on actin filaments during muscle contraction.
