Question

Given here is the equation of a chemical reaction. magnesium + oxygen ----------> magnesium oxide Which of the following can be said about the equation?
A. Only the products are written on the left side of the equation.
B. Only the reactants are written on the left side of the equation.
C. Both the reactants and the products are written on the left side of the equation.
D. Both the reactants and the products are written on the right side of the equation.​

Answer 1

Answer:B

Explanation: because the reactant which are going to react they write in the left part

Answer 2

The correct option is B.

• In the reaction between magnesium and oxygen, magnesium oxide is produced.
• $2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO$
• Magnesium and oxygen are the reactants and magnesium oxide is the product.
• Thus in a chemical reaction, the reactants are written on the left side of the equation and the product is written on the right side of the equation.
