If 7.04 g of Mg metal and 4.46 g of O2 gas are reacted,
1) How many moles of MgO can be produced from the given mass of Mg?
2) How many moles of MgO can be produced from the given mass of O2?
3) From the above calculations, determine which of the reactants is the limiting reagent.
Recall the balanced reaction is:
2 Mg (s) + O2 (g) 2 MgO (s)
Enter the number of moles of MgO from 7.04 of M
