magnesium oxide is: MgO (right side)
so the left side is: Mg + O2
for the equation to be balanced there must be two oxygens on both sides
Mg + O2 = 2MgO
but now the magnesium is uneven, so there must be two magnesiums on each side
the answer is: B) 2Mg + O2 = 2MgO
Answer:
Carbon is also found in the atmosphere where it's a part of carbon dioxide gas emitted when fossil fuels are burned and when living organisms breathe. It's in organic matter in the soil, and it's in rocks. But far and away the most carbon on Earth is stored in a surprising place: the ocean.

Answer:
409 g/mol
Explanation:
you divide the mass by the moles to get the molar mass
Because if they are not balanced, then the amount of reaction is not equal to the amount of the product. You must have the same ratio of atoms on both sides of the equation because we are not losing moles of each element.
Answer:
H₂S; CO₂; SiH₄
Explanation:
London dispersion forces are larger in molecules that are large and have more atoms or electrons.
A. H₂O or H₂S
H₂S. S is below O in the Periodic Table, so it is the larger atom. Its electrons are more polarizable.
B. CO₂ or CO
CO₂. CO₂ has more atoms. It is also linear, so the molecules can get close to each other and maximize the attractive forces.
C. CH₄ or SiH₄
CH₄. Si is below C in the Periodic Table, so it is the larger atom. Its electrons are more polarizable.
