Answer 2

The balanced equation showing how magnesium metal reacts with solid boron oxide is as follows:-

B₂O₃ + 3Mg → 3MgO + 2B

• Magnesium reacts with solid boron oxide to form elemental boron and magnesium oxide.
• Since Magnesium is above boron in the reactivity series, it suggests that being more reactive, it will displace the boron from its oxide.
• In a balanced chemical equation, an equal number of atoms are present on both sides of the equation.
