Q:
Balance the above Chemical equation?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO
Explanation: Given Equation is
Balancing the Chemical Equation is nothing but Conservation of Matter. As Matter is Neither created nor Destroyed, it must be conserved.
Here we have 1 Mg and 2 O on the left side and 1 Mg and 1 O on the right side
To balance that, add 1 Mg on the left side so that it becomes 2 Mg and 2 O on the left side
i.e,
Here it has 2 Mg & 2 O on the left side and 2 Mg and 2 O on the right side and the Chemical equation is Balanced.
