There are two atoms of oxygen on each side.
2 Mg + O2 = 2 Mg O
There are two oxygen atoms to left and two oxygen atoms to the right.
The equation isȘ
2 Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
Two oxygen atoms on each side.
I suppose that you think to the following chemical reaction:
2 Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
The chemical equation is:
2 Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
The chemical reaction is:
2 Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
2 atoms in each side.
Glucose (C6H12O6) has 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, 6 oxygen atoms.
That the number of atoms on the left side of the equation must be the same number of atoms that are on the right side of the equation.
In a balanced chemical equation there should be the same amount of atoms present in the products as there were in the reactants and only whole molecules can be formed or used (no half molecules). For example... CH4 + 2O2 = Co2 + 2H2O. If you add up the various atoms in the reactants you find 1 x Carbon, 4 x Hydrogen and 4 x Oxygen. The products contain 1 x Carbon, 4 x Hydrogen and 4 x Oxygen. The equation is therefore balanced. You will note also that 2 molecules of O2 were used as reactants in order to produce complete molecules of products.
Yes. There must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation.
If the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation, then it is balanced.
If the equation has the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow, it is balanced. If the number of atoms on each side of the arrow is not the same, the equation is not balanced. For example, in the equation H2 + O2 -->H2O, there are two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on the left, and two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom on the right. Therefore, the equation is not balanced. However, in the equation 2H2 + O2 -->2H2O, there are four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on the left and four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on the right, so the equation is balanced.
Glucose (C6H12O6) has 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, 6 oxygen atoms.
The coefficient times the subscripts in a chemical formula show you the number of atoms of each element for each substance in the equation.
A "balanced" equation.
Any chemical equation where atoms and energy are equal on each side.
4Na+O2=2Na2O? That must be the equation... Im not sure what you're asking... But, in a combustion reaction, something reacts with oxygen gas (O2). In this equation sodium is reacting with oxygen... So, yes, this is a combustion reaction.
It should be 2Mg+O2 = 2MgO, that is an equation (both sides equal).
same number of each element
That the number of atoms on the left side of the equation must be the same number of atoms that are on the right side of the equation.
A balanced chemical equation is when both the products and the reactants are balanced, or have the same number of atoms on each side of the equation. For example: 2H20 --> 2H2 + O2 This means there are 2 water molecules as the reactants (before reaction) and 4 hydrogen and 2 oxygen atoms as the products (after reaction). Technically the equation wouldn't work in real life if it weren't correctly balanced.
By having the same numbers of atoms of each kind of element present in the equation in the written numbers (coefficient multiplied by subscript) of each kind of element on both sides of the equation.
The formula of which a compound is made of.Another OpinionA chemical equation represents how many atoms of each element are in one molecule of the substance, for example H2O has 2 Hydrogens and 1 Oxygen per water molecule.
