D. MgO + 2HCI – MgCl2 + H20

Further explanation

The chemical equation is said to be balanced if the number of atoms in the reactants is equal to the number of atoms in the product

A. CaO2 + HCl → CaCl2 + H20

atoms O, Cl and H are not the same

B. CO2 + H2O + H2CO2

atoms O are not the same

C. K+ H2O → K20 + H2

atoms K are not the same

D. MgO + 2HCI – MgCl2 + H20

Mg, left = 1, right=1

O, left=1, right=1

H, left=2, right=2

Cl, left=2, right=2

Chemical equation is balanced
