Explanation:
The unbalanced equation is:
M
g
(
s
)
+
O
2
(
g
)
→
M
g
O
(
s
)
Multiply
M
g
O
by
2
to balance the oxygens.
M
g
(
s
)
+
O
2
(
g
)
→
2
M
g
O
(
s
)
Multiply
M
g
on the left side by
2
to balance the magnesiums.
2
M
g
(
s
)
+
O
2
(
g
)
→
2
M
g
O
(
s
)
Now, there are equal amounts of magnesium atoms and oxygen atoms on both sides, and so the equation is balanced.
