Question

What is the balanced synthesis for mgO?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a synthesis reaction. Magnesium has a charge of 2+ , while oxygen has a charge of 2− . The burning of magnesium metal reacts with oxygen found in the air (oxygen gas) to form magnesium oxide. ... The white ash and smoke formed in the reaction is the magnesium oxide.

Answer 2

Answer:

Magnesium reacts with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide. Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.

...

Example.

Step Result

2 Mg + O 2 → MgO

3 reactants: 1 × Mg, 2 × O products: 1 × Mg, 1 × O Not balanced.

4 Mg + O 2 → 2MgO

Step 3 (repeat) reactants: 1 × Mg, 2 × O products: 2 × Mg, 2 × O Not balanced.
