  • Calculating Moles of MgO Produced from O2 and Magnesium
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Write the balanced chemical equation:

    2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO

    2. Determine the mole ratio:

    From the balanced equation, we see that 1 mole of O₂ reacts to produce 2 moles of MgO.

    3. Calculate the moles of MgO produced:

    Since 0.200 mol of O₂ reacts completely, we can use the mole ratio to find the moles of MgO produced:

    0.200 mol O₂ * (2 mol MgO / 1 mol O₂) = 0.400 mol MgO

    Therefore, 0.400 moles of MgO are produced when 0.200 mol of O₂ reacts completely with magnesium.
