Question
Magnesium oxide can be made by heating magnesium metal in the presence of oxygen
gas, according to the following equation:
2 Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2 MgO(s)
When 10.1 g of magnesium (Mg) reacts with 10.5 g oxygen (O₂), 11.9 g of magnesium
oxide (MgO) is formed. Determine the limiting reagent.
Determine the theoretical yield for the reaction. Report your answer with two
significant figures. Do not include any units.
A/
