Answer:

3.98 g

Explanation:

Step 1. Write the balanced chemical reaction. In this case, magnesium reacts with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide:

2~Mg(s) + O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2~MgO (s)

\\

Step 2. Calculate the number of moles of magnesium:

n_{Mg} = \frac{2.4~g}{24.305~g/mol} = 0.0987~mol

\\

Step 3. Calculate the number of moles of oxygen:

n_{O_2} = \frac{10.0~g}{32.00~g/mol} = 0.3125~mol

\\

Step 4. Identify the limiting reactant comparing the equivalents. Equivalent of Mg:

eq_{Mg} = \frac{0.0987~mol}{1} = 0.0987~mol

Equivalent of oxygen:

eq_{O_2} = \frac{0.3125~mol}{2} = 0.15625~mol

Therefore, Mg is the limiting reactant.

\\

Step 5. According to the stoichiometry of this reaction:

n_{Mg} = n_{MgO} = 0.0987~mol

\\

Step 6. Convert the number of moles of MgO into mass:

m_{MgO} = 0.0987~mol\cdot 40.304~g/mol = 3.98~g
