Answer:

The balanced chemical equation is given as:

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

Explanation:

When magnesium metal burns in presence of oxygen it gives white color powdered compound called magnesium oxide.

The balanced chemical equation is given as:

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

According to reaction, 2 moles of magnesium metal when reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas it gives 2 moles of  solid magnesium oxide.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Sn (s) + 2 Cl2 (g) → SnCl4 (l)

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

4 Cl0 + 4 e- → 4 Cl-I

(reduction)

Sn0 - 4 e- → SnIV

(oxidation)

Cl2 is an oxidizing agent, Sn is a reducing agent.
