Question 2 of 10

Answer 1

The equation MgO + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂O is  a balanced equation.

• A balanced chemical equation contains equal number of atoms on both sides of the equation.

• The equation is MgO + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂O  which contains 1 atom of Mg, 2 atoms of chlorine, 2 atoms of chlorine, 1 atom of oxygen on both reactants and products sides.
• So the equation is balanced.
• An equation for a chemical reaction is said to be balanced if both the reactants and the products have the same number of atoms and total charge for each component of the reaction.
• In other words, both sides of the reaction have equal amounts of mass and charge.
• It follows law of conservation of mass.
• Mass is neither created nor destroyed rather it can be transferred from one form to another.
