Inside a flashbulb, oxygen surrounds a thin coil of magnesium. When the flashbulb is set off, a chemical reaction takes place in which magnesium combines with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Which of the chemical equations matches the reaction above?

Oxygen and magnesium come together in a chemical reaction to form this compound. After it burns, it forms a white powder of the magnesium oxide. Magnesium gives up two electrons to oxygen atoms to form this powdery product. This is an exothermic reaction.
