Hydrogen and Oxygen by themselves have 1 and 6 valence electrons, respectively. 8 valence electrons is stable, so the atoms form bonds with each other to achieve 8 valence e-.

1 H atom + 1 H atom + 1 O atom = 8 valence e-

The oxygen atom requires 2 electrons to complete its valance shell. Hydrogen is special in that it can eighter give or take one electron and still be stable. So hydrogen gives its electron  to oxygen, and two hydrogens fill up all of oxygen's  valance shell, and it forms water.

1) Chemical reaction:
2(CH₃COO)₃Fe + 3MgCrO₄ → Fe₂(CrO₄)₃ + 3(CH₃COO)₂Mg.
m((CH₃COO)₃Fe) = 15,0 g.
m(MgCrO₄) = 10,0 g.
n((CH₃COO)₃Fe) = m((CH₃COO)₃Fe) ÷ M((CH₃COO)₃Fe).
n((CH₃COO)₃Fe) = 15 g ÷ 233 g/mol.
n((CH₃COO)₃Fe) = 0,064 mol.
n(MgCrO₄) = m(MgCrO₄) ÷ M(MgCrO₄).
n(MgCrO₄) = 10 g ÷ 140,3 g/mol.
n(MgCrO₄) = 0,071 mol; limiting reagens.
From chemical reaction: n(MgCrO₄) : n((CH₃COO)₂Mg) = 3 : 3.
n((CH₃COO)₂Mg) = 0,071 mol.
m((CH₃COO)₂Mg) = 0,071 mol · 142,4 g/mol.
n((CH₃COO)₂Mg) = 10,11 g.

2) Chemical reaction: 
2(CH₃COO)₃Fe + 3MgSO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3(CH₃COO)₂Mg.
m((CH₃COO)₃Fe) = 15,0 g.
m(MgSO₄) = 15,0 g.
n((CH₃COO)₃Fe) = m((CH₃COO)₃Fe) ÷ M((CH₃COO)₃Fe).
n((CH₃COO)₃Fe) = 15 g ÷ 233 g/mol.
n((CH₃COO)₃Fe) = 0,064 mol; limiting ragens.
n(MgSO₄) = m(MgSO₄) ÷ M(MgSO₄).
n(MgSO₄) = 15 g ÷ 120,36 g/mol.
n(MgSO₄) = 0,125 mol; limiting reagens.
From chemical reaction: n(CH₃COO)₃Fe) : n((CH₃COO)₂Mg) = 2 : 3.
n((CH₃COO)₂Mg) = 0,064 mol · 3/2.
n((CH₃COO)₂Mg) = 0,096 mol.
m((CH₃COO)₂Mg) = 0,096 mol · 142,4 g/mol.
m((CH₃COO)₂Mg) = 13,7 g.
