Magnesium oxide is produced by burning magnesium in oxygen gas.
The equation for the reaction is:
2Mg+O2→2MgO2\text{Mg} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{MgO}2Mg+O2→2MgO
Calculate the volume of oxygen gas needed to react completely with 6.0 g6.0\text{ g}6.0 g of magnesium.
You should calculate:
Relative atomic mass (ArA_rAr): Mg=24\text{Mg} = 24Mg=24
The volume of 1 mole of gas = 24 dm324\text{ dm}^324 dm3
