Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.81AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The chemically balanced equation and the half reaction for the reaction in which magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide have to be given.
Concept Introduction:
A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of atoms involved in the reactants side is equal to the number of atoms in the product side.
The steps to balance an equation:
- Count the number of atoms in an each element in the reactants and the products.
- Use the co efficient and place them in front of the compounds as needed.
