A student investigated how the pH of dilute hydrochloric acid changes as magnesium oxide is added. Their results are shown in the graph in Figure 1.

A line graph showing how the pH of an acid changes as magnesium oxide is added. The vertical y-axis is labelled 'pH of mixture' and ranges from 0 to 14 in increments of 1. The horizontal x-axis is labelled 'Mass of magnesium oxide added / g' and ranges from 0.0 to 1.4 in increments of 0.1. The curve starts at (0.0, 1.5), passes through (0.2, 1.8), (0.4, 2.1), (0.6, 2.7), rises very steeply through (0.8, 7.0), and levels off passing through (1.0, 11.3), (1.2, 11.8), and (1.4, 12.0).

Using Figure 1, give the mass of magnesium oxide required to make a neutral mixture.
