Question
Write the chemical equation for the production of magnesium oxide by the reaction of magnesium and oxygen.
Step 1
The reactants are magnesium (Mg) and oxygen (O2), and the product is magnesium oxide (MgO). So, the unbalanced chemical equation is: \[ \text{Mg(s)} + \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow \text{MgO(s)} \] Show more…
