Explanation:</h3>
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[RxN - Unbalanced] Mg + O₂ → MgO
[RxN - Balanced] 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
[Given] 8.01 moles Mg
[Solve] moles MgO
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
[RxN] 2 mol Mg → 2 mol MgO

Answer: 3.5 moles V2O5
Explanation: First balance the chemical equation to find the stoichiometric factor between VOCl3 and V2O5
2 V2O5 + 6 Cl2 => 4 VOCl3 + 7 O2
So the mole to mole ratio is 2 moles V2O5 to 4 moles of VOCl3
Solution
7 moles VOCl3 x 2 moles V2O5 / 4 moles VOCl3 = 3.5 moles V2O5
