Balance the following chemical equations. 1) Mg + O2 —> MgO
2) SO2 + O2 —> SO3
3) Na + Cl2 —> NaCl
4) K + O2 —> K2O

Balancing the equations means adding coefficients to the reactants or products so that there is an equal amount of atoms of an element on both sides of the equation.

1) 2Mg + O₂ ⇒ 2MgO

2) 2SO₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2SO₃

3) 2Na + Cl₂ ⇒ 2NaCl

4) 4K + O₂ ⇒ 2K₂O

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
