You are doing:
Magnesium + Oxygen -> Magnesium Oxide
So replace the words with symbols to make the equation more advanced:
Mg + O2 -> MgO
And to balance it:
2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO
magnesium is a purply substance. Although when this substance is burned with oxygen it becomes Magnesium Oxide. This chemical then turns into a black liquidy colour. The word equation for this experiment is: magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide
When magnesium oxide is burnt in air, an oxidation of the magnesium and reduction of some of the oxygen in the air occurs according to the equation:2 Mg + O2 -> 2 MgO.
MgO Is magnesium oxide.
Heating magnesium is a physical process.But the reaction of magnesium with oxygen at high temperature is a chemical process.
Magnesium,carbon oxygen.
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
Magnesium + oxygen =magnesium oxide
The chemical equation is:2 Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
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
The word equation is magnesium + oxygen(air) = magnesium oxide. The Balanced chemical eq'n is 2Mg(s) + O2(g) = 2MgO(s)
magnesium is a purply substance. Although when this substance is burned with oxygen it becomes Magnesium Oxide. This chemical then turns into a black liquidy colour. The word equation for this experiment is: magnesium + Oxygen = Magnesium Oxide
The reaction is:2 Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
When you burn magnesium, you are taking two elements, magnesium and oxygen, and combining them to form a compound, magnesium oxide. That is synthesis.
magnesium oxide
magnesium+oxygen = magnesium oxide
When magnesium oxide is burnt in air, an oxidation of the magnesium and reduction of some of the oxygen in the air occurs according to the equation:2 Mg + O2 -> 2 MgO.
It depends on the chemical reaction taking place.magnesium + oxygen -> magnesium oxideIn equation 1 it would be a reactant.magnesium oxide -> magnesium + oxygenIn equation 2 it would be a product.If magnesium is on the left-hand side of the equation it is a reactant.If magnesium is on the right-hand side of the equation it is a product.From Wikipedia:"The substances initially involved in a chemical reaction are called reactants. Chemical reactions are usually characterized by a chemical change, and they yield one or more products, which usually have properties different from the reactants."
