Question

Hi wow, i just found his site, i hope its legit!! How do you balance Mg with O2(2 is lower) an it forms MgO? any help would be omg soo appreciated

Answer 1

Do you mean balancing the chemical equation \( Mg+O_2→MgO\) ?

Answer 2

yes and it forms MgO

Answer 3

all you're trying to do is to have the same number of atoms on both sides. You do this by adding numbers (called coefficients) infront of each compound. This has a multiplicative effect, for example:

\(2~Fe_2O_3\) means you have 4 Fe atoms and 6 O atoms
