Answer:

The oxidation reduction reaction which is also a synthesis reaction is:

A.[tex]2Mg(s)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)[/tex].

Explanation:

A Synthesis reaction is a reaction in which two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

A redox reaction(oxidation reduction) is a reaction in which one species is oxidised and one is reduced simultaneously.

Oxidation: Loss of electron or increase in oxidation state

Reduction: Gain of electron or decrease in oxidation state

In both cases A,B two reactant are combining to give a single compound.So both are synthesis reaction.

A.[tex]2Mg(s)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)[/tex] is a redox reaction :

Oxidation of Mg :[tex]2Mg(s)\rightarrow 2Mg^{2+}+4e^{-}[/tex]

(increase in oxidation state of Mg from 0 to +2)

Reduction of Oxygen: [tex]O_{2}(g)+4e^{-}\rightarrow 2O^{2-}[/tex]

(decrease in oxidation state of O from 0 to -2)

on combining above half-reactions:

[tex]2Mg(s)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)[/tex]

Its both redox and synthesis reaction.

But there is no change in oxidation states of elements in Reaction B

[tex]Pb^{2+}(aq)+CrO_{4}^{2-}\rightarrow PbCrO_{4}(s)[/tex]

oxidation state of Pb is (+2) in both [tex]Pb^{2+}[/tex]and [tex]PbCrO_{4}[/tex]:

[tex]Pb^{2+}\rightarrow PbCrO_{4}[/tex]

Cr has (+6) oxidation state in both [tex]CrO_{4}{2-}[/tex] and  [tex]PbCrO_{4}[/tex]:

[tex]CrO_{4}{2-}\rightarrow PbCrO_{4}[/tex]

No change in oxidation state so no loss/gain of electrons .Hence not a redox reaction

B. is not a oxidation reduction reaction ,its just a synthesis reaction.

Hence,

The oxidation reduction reaction which is also a synthesis reaction is:

A.[tex]2Mg(s)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)[/tex].

[tex]\rm 2\;Mg\;(s)\;+\;O_2\;(g)\;\rightarrow\;2\;MgO\;(s)[/tex], this is the redox reaction and also a synthesis reaction.

A redox reaction is that where reduction and oxidation take simultaneously.  

The synthesis reaction is one in which the product is formed.

(A) The reaction of Mg with [tex]\rm O_2[/tex] will form MgO.

Since there is the formation of the product by reaction of 2 reagents, it is a synthesis reaction.

In this reaction, Mg is getting oxidized and oxygen is getting reduced.

So this is a redox reaction as well.

(B) The reaction of Pb with chromate will result in [tex]\rm PbCrO_4[/tex].

There is a formation of product in the reaction, so it is a synthesis reaction.

There is no change in the oxidation state of lead, so it is not a redox reaction.
