Mg equals Mg2+ plus 2e-
O2 + 4e- 2I2-
The anode electrode loses loses electron and oxidation half reaction occurs at it.
Reversing the equation gives the oxidation half reaction. Doing this changes the sign on the voltage, not the magnitude.
The reaction of magnesium (Mg) with oxygen (O₂) to form magnesium oxide (MgO) can be represented by the half-reactions for each element. For magnesium, the oxidation half-reaction is: [ \text{Mg} \rightarrow \text{Mg}^{2+} + 2e^- ] For oxygen, the reduction half-reaction is: [ \text{O}_2 + 4e^- + 2\text{H}_2O \rightarrow 4\text{OH}^- ] Combining these half-reactions, you ultimately get the overall balanced reaction: [ 2 \text{Mg} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{MgO} ]
They make it easier to see the oxidation and reduction parts of the reaction separately.
