Question

word equation of 2 Mg(s) + O2(g) = 2MgO2(s) + heat​

Answer 1

Hey dear,

Your answer,

When magnesium burns, it combines with oxygen (O2) from the air to form magnesium oxide (MgO) according to the following equation: 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound containing Mg2+ and O2− ions whereas Mg(s) and O2(g) are elements with no charges.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{\sf{ 2Mg(s) + O_2(g) \implies 2MgO(s) }}}$

⇒ This experiment is very popular in new school which is of burning of magnesium ribbon and very bright light observed.

⇒ Oxygen and magnesium combine in a chemical reaction to form this compound. After it burns, it forms a white powder of the magnesium oxide. Magnesium gives up two electrons to oxygen atoms to form this powdery product. This is an exothermic reaction
