Answer:

2Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO(s)

Explanation:

2Ca(s) + Cl₂(g) → CaCl₂(s) (incorrect)

Ca(s) + Cl₂(g) → CaCl₂(s) (correct)

Li(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2LiCl(s) (incorrect)

2Li(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2LiCl(s) (correct)

2C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) (incorrect)

C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) (correct)

The study of chemicals and bonds is called chemistry.

The correct answer is [tex]2Mg + O_2----> 2MgO[/tex]

Q. What is the balanced reaction?

  • The balanced reaction states that the number of moles presents equally at both sides of the reaction that is a product and the reactant.
  • The number of atoms is must be equal on both the side

All the other options are incorrect as the number of moles and atoms are not present in a stoichiometric manner and are not in equal proportion.

In the second equation, the number of atoms in the magnesium and oxygen is equal which is 2 on each side.

The number of atoms in the reactant is 2Mg and 2O and the number of atoms in the product is 2Mg and 2O.

Hence, the correct answer is B that is  [tex]2Mg + O_2----> 2MgO[/tex]
