Balance the equation for magnasuin and oxygen to yield magnasuimoxide

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Mg + O₂ → MgO

Balanced chemical equation:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

The balanced equation s given above and it completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Steps to balanced the equation:

Step 1:

Mg + O₂ → MgO

Mg = 1 Mg = 1

O = 2 O = 1

Step 2:

2Mg + O₂ → MgO

Mg = 2 Mg = 1

O = 2 O = 1

Step 3:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

Mg = 2 Mg = 2

O = 2 O = 2
