Give the complete balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when magnesium chlorate (Mg(ClO3)2) is heated. You do not need to make the subscripts smaller in your answer, just write them out as regular numbers.

For example: Mg(ClO3)2.

We need to find a chemistry person.

callisto · Answer

We'll get magnesium chloride and oxygen upon heating...
So, you need to balance this chemical equation:
$$Mg(ClO_3)_2 \rightarrow MgCl_2 + O_2$$
Can you do it?

anonymous · Answer

yes  I can

anonymous · Answer

the belanced equation qould be Mg(ClO3)2 = MgCl2 + 3O2

callisto · Answer

Btw, please post this question in the Chemistry group. Thanks! http://openstudy.com/study#/groups/Chemistry

anonymous · Answer

can you finish helping me then t

anonymous · Answer

next question will be in chemistry

callisto · Answer

You got it right.

anonymous · Answer

so is that the answer or something

anonymous · Answer

@Callisto was that the answer

callisto · Answer

Yes.

anonymous · Answer

what form do I right my answer in

callisto · Answer

What do you mean?

anonymous · Answer

nevermind I got it

anonymous · Answer

(The balanced equation for magnesium chlorate (Mg(ClO3)2) when it is heated would be Mg(ClO3)2 = MgCl2 + 3O2) so like this

callisto · Answer

Alright.
