Question

Complete the following chemical equations and balance them -

$\mathrm{MgO}+{\mathrm{CO}}_2\to \mathrm{\_\_\_\_\_\_}$

Answer 1

• In the above reaction, the metal oxides react with Carbon dioxide to undergo a combination reaction forming Metal carbonate.
• Thus, the complete chemical reaction is $\mathrm{MgO}+{\mathrm{CO}}_2\to {\mathrm{MgCO}}_3$
• The above reaction is balanced as the number of atoms of all the elements on the reactant side is equal to that on the product side.

Final answer: $\mathrm{MgO}+{\mathrm{CO}}_2\to {\mathrm{MgCO}}_3$
