Magnesium hydroxide (Upper M g left-parenthesis Upper O Upper H right-parenthesis Subscript 2) is formed when water (Upper H Subscript 2 Upper O) reacts with another substance. Move to the blank of the chemical equation the missing reactant that would produce in a balanced equation.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance

a is the correct answer
