Answer:
We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).
Explanation:
Step 1: The balanced equation
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
Step 2: Data given
Number of moles of Magnesium = 4 moles
Oxygen = in excess → this means Magnesium is the limiting reactant
Magnesium will completely be consumed ( 4 moles). There will remain 0 moles.
For 2 moles of magnesium consumed, we need 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of MgO.
For 4 moles of magnesium, we need 4/2 = 2 moles of oxygen.
For 4 moles of magnesium, we will produce 4/1 = 4 moles of MgO
We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).
Molecular are only between non-metals. Ionic has a higher melting point

N₂O
N = 14.01 amu
O ≈ 16 amu
14.01 × 2 = 28.02 ; 2 Nitrogen
44.02 - 28.02 = 16 ; 1 Oxygen
Check
28.02 + 16 ≈ 44.02amu
