a)Identify X and write the chemical name of X
b) Complete the equation

c) Identify the type of reaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

X=MgO(Magnesium oxide)

2Mg+O2=2MgO

Type of reaction is combination reaction.

Here the oxidizing agent is Mg and the reducing agent is the O2.

This is because Mg is getting taking in O and is reducing itself to form MgO.

This Magnesium oxide, or magnesia, so formed is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as percales and is a source of magnesium.
