Question

complete and balance the following equation: Be + O2 -->

Answer 1

complete and balance the following equation: Be + O2 -->

$$\mathrm{Be} + \mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{Be}^{2+} \mathrm{O}^{2-}$$

In order to balance the equation we need to put necessary factors before Be, O₂, BeO.

$$2\mathrm{Be} + \mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\mathrm{Be}^{2+} \mathrm{O}^{2-}$$
