Given:

magnesium = 0.941 gram piece

Magnesium oxide= 1.560 grams

Formula:

(magnesium / magnesium oxide) x 100 = % Mg

100% - % Mg = percent composition of each element

Solution:

(0.941g Mg) / (1.560g MgO)

= 0.603

= 60.3% Mg

100% - 60.3%

= 39.7%

39.7% is the percentage composition of each element.

SashulF [63]

Balanced chemical reaction: 2CH₄(g) ⇄ C₂H₂(g) + 3H₂(g).

1) In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which both reactants (methane CH₄) and products (ethyne C₂H₂ and hydrogen H₂) are present in concentrations which have no further tendency to change with time.  

2) At equilibrium, both the forward and reverse reactions are still occurring.

3) Reaction rates of the forward and backward reactions are equal and  there are no changes in the concentrations of the reactants and products.
