Question
### Question 10: Reaction Classification

Classify the following reaction in as many ways as possible:

\[ \text{Mg (s)} + \text{Cl}_2 \text{(g)} \rightarrow \text{MgCl}_2 \text{(s)} \]

#### Options:

- Precipitation
- Acid-base
- Gas evolution
- Redox
- Synthesis
- Decomposition
- Single displacement
- Double displacement

#### Explanation:

The given reaction involves the combination of magnesium (Mg) in solid form and chlorine gas (Cl₂) to produce magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) as a solid.

- **Precipitation:** N/A - This typically involves reactants in solution forming an insoluble product.
- **Acid-base:** N/A - This involves a reaction between an acid and a base.
- **Gas evolution:** N/A - No gas is produced in the product.
- **Redox:** The reaction involves the transfer of electrons, with magnesium being oxidized and chlorine being reduced.
- **Synthesis:** The reaction forms a single compound from two elements.
- **Decomposition:** N/A - This involves a single compound breaking into two or more products.
- **Single displacement:** N/A - Involves an element replacing another in a compound.
- **Double displacement:** N/A - Involves the exchange of components between two compounds.
