Balance the chemical equation Mg+O2=MgO
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Mg2 +O2=2MgO
Answer:
Explanation:
The given Reaction is,
Now, Checking the initial & final concentration of both elements.
Now Balancing the equation,
Step-1
Now, We will first balance Oxygen (O)
As there is 2 O in L.H.S (Initial) and 1 O in R.H.S (Final), Multiplying with the common factor (2) on the Final (R.H.S) side, i.e. 1 × 2 = 2 ; gives 2 Oxygen atoms in R.H.S (Final) which equals L.H.S (Initial).
Therefore, Oxygen (O) is balanced.
Hence the first step equation will be,
Here 2 is written in front of that compound as we know we cannot violate formula of compound to balance the equation.
Step-2
Now, Balancing Magnesium (Mg) atom.
On the R.H.S the Magnesium (2 Mg O) will be 1 × 2 = 2
As there is (1×2=2) 2 Mg in R.H.S (Final) and 1 Mg in L.H.S (Initial), Multiplying with the common factor (2) on the Initial side, i.e. 2 × 1 = 2 ; gives 2 Mg atoms in L.H.S (Initial) which equals R.H.S (Final).
Therefore, Magnesium (Mg) is balanced.
Therefore, the second step equation will be
As we have tried to balanced both the atoms, lets check their initial and Final Amounts,
As we can see the atoms are balanced, we get a balanced equation,
So, the Balanced equation of the given equation is
