Question

Balance the equation Mg+CO2 - - - - - -) MgO+c ​

Answer 1

2Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → 2MgO (s) + C (s)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Reactions

• Reaction Prediction
• Balancing RxN's

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define RxN

Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → MgO (s) + C (s)

Step 2: Balance RxN

2Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → 2MgO (s) + C (s)

• We need to balance the number of O's on both sides
• If we balance the O's, we will also need to balance the Mg's
