Question

For part one synthesis reactions The product of the reaction is MgO. Describe what you observed in the reaction then consider the general AB form of a synthesis reaction. Write the chemical reaction balancing the equation so that there are an equal number of atoms of each type in both reactants and the product

Answer 1

Answer:

$2Mg+O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO$

Explanation:

Synthesis reaction:

In the synthesis reaction, two reactants combined to form a single product.

For example,

"A" and "B" are two reactants then combined to form a "AB" product.

The chemical reaction is as follows.

$A+B \rightarrow AB$

The product "MgO" is formed by magnesium reacts with oxygen to form Magnesium oxide.

The chemical reaction is as follows.

$2Mg+O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO$
