Assume that 12.0 g of oxygen are reacted with 20.0 g of magnesium to produce magnesium oxide. Calculate the mass of the product formed.

i have a feeling this is a gay person trolling to make straights look bad.

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.
