Caylee Gregory · Answer 1

Balanced equation:

MgO + 2 HCl = MgCl 2 + H 2O

Russo · Answer 2

MgO + HCl = MgCl2 * + H2*O

To balance an equation, you have to have both the reactants and products side equal.

Mg = 1 Mg = 1

H = 1 H = 2

Cl = 1 Cl = 2

MgO + 2HCl = MgCl2 + H2*O

We added the coefficient 2, so they could balance.
