Mg + 1/2 O2 → MgO
1 mol = 24 g of Mg
X mol = 12 g of Mg
x = 0.5 moles of Mg
Mg :MgO = 1:1 (coefficient from equations using mole ratio)
So
0.5 moles of MgO
1 mol MgO = (24+16) g = 40 g
0.5 moles of MgO = 0.5 × 40
= 20 g of MgO produced
Another name for chemical change would be chemical reaction.
Melting is equivalent to freezing: a temperature when a solid become a liquid.
D. Sublimation is a solid turning directly into a gas
