This reaction involves the oxidation of copper chloride (CuCl2) to produce copper (Cu), copper(II) oxide (CuO), oxygen gas (O2), magnesium oxide (MgO), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) with the involvement of magnesium (Mg) as a reactant.
The given chemical reaction is:
2CuCl2 + Cu + 3CuO + O2 + 2MgO + 2Mg(OH)2 + 2MgCl2
