Explanation:
Molar mass data from a modern periodic table:
- Mg: 24.301;
- O: 15.999.
How many moles of MgO will be produced if Mg is the limiting reactant?
Number of moles of Mg:
.
The ratio between the coefficient of Mg and that of MgO is 2:2. Two moles of Mg will make two moles of MgO. 0.670644 moles of MgO will be produced if Mg is the limiting reactant.
How many moles of MgO will be produced if O₂ is the limiting reactant?
Number of moles of O₂:
.
The ratio between the coefficient of O₂ and that of MgO is 1:2. One mole of O₂ will make two moles of MgO. of MgO will be produced if O₂ is in excess.
How many moles of MgO will be produced?
0.541284 is smaller than 0.670644. Only 0.541284 moles of MgO will be produced since O₂ will run out before all 16.3 grams of Mg is consumed.
