Question #2c774 Chemistry Chemical Reactions Chemical Reactions and Equations 1 Answer 1s2s2p Dec 5, 2017 Roughly 2491kg Explanation: The reaction between Mg and O2 to produce MgO goes like this: 2Mg(s)+O2(g)→2MgO(s) 4131kg=4131000g n(MgO)=413100024.3+16=102506.2035mol Molar ratio of Mg:MgO is 1:1 So, 102506.2035mol of Mg are needed. Mr(Mg)=24.3 m=n⋅Mr=24.3(102506.2035)=2490900.744kg=2490.900744g≈2491kg Answer link Related questions Question #fee47 Question #c5c15 Question #19eb9 Question #e2ea2 Question #bc751 Question #e2ea6 Question #08b07 What is the thermochemical equation for the combustion of benzene?
