<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[RxN - Balanced] 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
[Given] 5.8332 g Mg
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
[RxN] 2 mol Mg = 2 mol MgO
Molar Mass of Mg - 24.31 g/mol
Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of MgO - 24.31 + 16.00 = 40.31 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>
- Set up:
- Multiply/Divide:
<u>Step 4: Check</u>
<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 5 sig figs.</em>
9.67241 g MgO ≈ 9.6724 g MgO
