    Answer is: B₂O₃ + Mg → B + MgO.

    B₂O₃ + 3Mg → 2B + 3MgO, balanced.

    B₂O₃ - diboron trioxide. White, glassy solid compound.

    B - boron. Metalloid, crystalline boron is and amorphous boron is a brown powder.

    Mg - magnesium. S hiny, gray and solid metal.

    MgO - magnesium oxide. W hite, hygroscopic solid powder.
