Magnesium is in group 2 so its valency is +2
Oxygen is in group 6 so its valency is -2
The numbers are the same, so there is no need to cross them over, and they both cancel down to 1, so the formula for Magnesium Oxide is MgO
Oxygen molecules are diatomic, so the formula for Oxygen is O2
Magnesium's chemical formula is Mg
Using these, the equation starts out as:
Mg + O2 => MgO
Balancing this gives
2Mg + O2 => 2MgO
Magnesium reacting with nitrogen in the air would form magnesium nitride, not magnesium oxide.
Mg + O2 -----2MgO 2Mg + 02---2MgO
MgO + H2O > Mg(OH)2
Mg + 2 H+ --> Mg2+ + H2
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
That would be Magnesium Oxide (since a single element cannot decompose) which decomposes into Magnesium and Oxygen. Magnesium Oxide --> Magnesium + Oxygen or the balanced chem. equation: 2MgO --> 2Mg + 02
Well if you put magnesium with hydrochloric acid, the magnesium reacts with it and creates hydrogen and magnesium chloride. Here is the word equation... Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid --> Magnesium chloride + Hydrogen
Formula = Mg3N2
2Mg(s) + O2(g) -> MgO(s)
When magnesium reacts with copper chloride, an exchange reaction occurs in which magnesium replaces copper, resulting in the formation of magnesium chloride and copper. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Mg + CuCl2 → MgCl2 + Cu.
A true reaction don't exist between magnesium chloride and sulfuric acid.
A balanced equation MUST have EQUAL numbers of EACH type of atom on BOTH sides of the arrow.The balanced equation for the reaction magnesium chloride plus sulfuric acid is;MgCl2 + H2SO4 ------> MgSO4 + 2HCl.
Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2
MgBr2 + Cl2 --> MgCl2 + Br2
This equation is MgBr2 + 2 HCl = MgCl2 + 2 HBr.
Fe + MgCl2 ---> Mg + FexCl2
MgCl2 + H2SO4 ---> MgSO4 + 2HCl
The concentration of the acid is irrelevant. Magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas are formed.
This equation is Mg + 2 HCl -> MgCl2 + H2.
2HCl + Mg ---------> MgCl2 + H2 Hydrogen chloride + Magnesium -------> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen gas
