Question

Fireworks which give off bright flashes of white light often contain magnesium metal. When the magnesium burns in the presence of oxygen, it forms solid magnesium oxide, and emits a bright white light. Write a complete, balanced equation for this reaction.
A. Mg(s) + O2(g) ? MgO2(s) B. 4Mg(s) + O2(g) ? 2Mg2O(s) C. Mg(s) + O(g) ? MgO(s) D. Mg(s) + O2(g) ? MgO(s) E. 2Mg(s) + O2(g) ? 2MgO(s) Fireworks which give off bright flashes of white light often contain magnesium metal.
