Chemistry
1 answer:
GaryK [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Explanation:

Step 1. Start with the most complicated-looking formula (O₂?).

Put a 1 in front of it.

Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ MgO

Step 2. Balance O.

We have fixed 2 O on the left. We need 2O on the right. Put a 2 in front of MgO.

Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Step 3. Balance Mg.

We have fixed 2 Mg on the right-hand side. We need 2 Mg atoms on the left. Put a 2 in front of Mg.

2Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Every formula now has a coefficient. The equation should be balanced. Let’s check.

<u>Atom</u>  <u>On the left</u>  <u>On the righ</u>t

  Mg             2                  2

  O                2                  2

All atoms are balanced.

The balanced equation is

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO
