Answer: Mg(OH)_2(s)\rioghtarrow MgO(s)+H_2O(g)

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

The balanced equation for decomposition of solid magnesium hydroxide decomposes into solid magnesium oxide and gaseous water is:

Mg(OH)_2(s)\rioghtarrow MgO(s)+H_2O(g)

(s) represents solid state and (g) represents gaseous state.

Equation: MgOH2 (s) --> MgO (s) + H2O (g)

And it's already balanced.

I had chemistry this semester too.

Explain the Anchoring Phenomenon (summary)
Virty [35]
An anchoring phenomenon anchors all of the learning within a unit. So, it is a unit level event that the classroom is trying to make sense of as they engage in a series of lessons.

Since the questions the students ask about the anchor drive the learning within the unit, the anchor should be complex and require an understanding of several big science ideas to explain.

At strategic moments, the class revisits the anchoring phenomenon to review their initial questions to see which they have answered, which they are making progress on, and what new questions they may have to help us continue learning about the phenomenon.

Throughout the unit, the classroom and each student should be given opportunities to share their thinking and how it relates to the anchoring phenomenon.
