Which balances the equation Mg + O2 → MgO? Mg + 2O2 → 4MgO 2Mg + 2O2 → 2MgO 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO 2Mg + 2O2 → 4MgO

Welcome to questioncove, Do you have any idea what this might be?

Alexis1415:

Well, To balance an equation or the equation I should say "Mg + O2 -> MgO" Remember the number of atoms need to be equal to the number of atoms in the actual reactant. So if we make them equal to the reactant we get, Mg + O2 -> MgO the balanced equation would be "C, 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO.
