How do you balance this equation Mg+ O2= MgO

2 Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2 MgO(s)

As magnesium (Mg) has a valency of +2, and oxygen (O) has a valency of -2, the ratio would be 1:1, and magnesium oxide would be represented as MgO. It is insoluble in water, hence it has the subscript as a solid, represented by (s). In order to use up the diatomic oxygen (O2), there needs to be two moles of magnesium (2Mg) on the reactant side. This would produce 2 moles of MgO on the product side.

Explanation:

energy stored in the capacitor= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴ j

explanation:

the energy stored in the capacitor is given by

e= 1/2 c v²

e= energy stored

c= capacitance= 1.5 µc= 1.5 x 10⁻⁶f

v= potential difference=36 v

so energy stored= e= 1/2 (1.5 x 10⁻⁶) (36)²

energy stored= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴j
