Determine the mass of magnesium oxide that is formed as a result of the interaction of magnesium 0.3 mol and oxygen.

The combustion reaction of magnesium is described by the following chemical reaction equation:

2Mg + O2 = 2MgO;

To obtain one mole of magnesium oxide, one mole of magnesium is required.

Let us determine the mass of 0.3 mol of magnesium oxide.

The molar mass of magnesium oxide is:

M MgO = 24 + 16 = 40 grams / mol;

m MgO = 40 x 0.3 = 12 grams;
