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=nMr=24.3(102506.2035)=2490900.744kg=2490.900744g2491kg
