Given :
2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO
To Find :
How many moles of magnesium oxide are formed if you burn a 2.3 mol sample of magnesium ribbon in the air.
Solution :
From given balanced chemical reaction we can see that 2 mole of Magnesium reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to produce 2 mole of MgO.
Since, there is abundance of oxygen in air.
Therefore, 2.3 moles of magnesium will produced 2.3 moles of magnesium oxide.
