Answer #1

ANs.

The combustion reaction of Mg is

...........(1)

You have given another reaction. So, I guess you need the overall reaction of the combustion reaction and the below reaction.

There is 2MgO on the RHS of the combustion chemical equation.

So, multiply the above reaction with 2. The equation becomes

...........(2)

Write eqn (1) and (2) together.

2MgO is present on the RHS of the first equation and on the LHS of the second equation. So, after adding the equations, 2MgO can be cancelled.

The final overall chemical equation is
