Question 3
H

4.80 g of magnesium was burned in an excess of oxygen. 6.40 g of magnesium oxide was made.

2Mg+O2→2MgO2\text{Mg} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{MgO}2Mg+O2​→2MgO

Relative atomic masses: O=16\text{O} = 16O=16, Mg=24\text{Mg} = 24Mg=24.

What is the percentage yield of magnesium oxide?
