How to find the limiting reagant when you are only given the balanced equation: 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO ?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

like I'M SO confused because there is no mass given.

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO I'm not given any masses. Though we did the experiment in class. We used 0.400 g of Magnesium and burned it. I don't know the mass of O2? I need to know the limiting reagent so I can calculate the theoretical yield. The experiment gave us the mass of MgO 0.660 g
