Answer:

Explanation:

Magnesium when it oxidizes has a valence of 2.

Oxygen, when it mixes with something, has a valence of - 2

So Mg and O2 will form something, but what? The answer is MgO

Mg + O2 ===> MgO

To balance this equation, you need 2 Magnesiums on the right and 2 Oxygens also on the right. The left will need a  two Magnesiums.

The balanced equation will be

2Mg + O2 ====> 2MgO

How do I determine the number of a particle in a compound?
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The mathematical equation, N = n × NA, can be used to find the number of atoms, ions or molecules in any amount (in moles) of atoms, ions or molecules: 10 moles of helium atoms = 10 × (6.022 × 1023) = 6.022 × 1024 helium atoms.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Ph range is 14.35.

<h3>What is PH?</h3>

PH is a proportion of hydrogen particle focus , a proportion of the causticity or alkalinity of an answer. The pH scale for the most part goes from 0 to 14. Fluid arrangements at 25°C with a pH under 7 are acidic, while those with a pH more prominent than 7 are essential or basic. Having a reasonable pH safeguards our bodies from the back to front. Some even say that illnesses and problems can't fill in a body whose pH is in balance. The pH is a logarithmic scale, that is to say, when an answer becomes multiple times more acidic, its pH diminishes by one. In the event that an answer becomes multiple times more acidic, its pH will diminish by two. The pH scale is recognizable to a bunch of standard arrangements whose pH is laid out by peaceful accord. Essential pH standard qualities are resolved utilizing a fixation cell with transaction, by estimating the possible distinction between a hydrogen terminal and a standard cathode like the silver chloride anode.
