  1. 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO

    Molar mass(mass of one mole) of MgO = 24+ 16 = 40 g

    Number of moles of MgO in 40.0is 40.0 g/40 g = 1 mol

    According to the balanced equation, 2 mol Mg produces 2 mol MgO; or 1 mol Mg produces 1 mol MgO

    Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mol

    So Mass of Mg required to produce 40.0 g(1 mol) of MgO

    = 1 mol * 24 g/mol = 24.0 g


  2. Yes!
