Question:

In Example 2-1, we established that the mass ratio of magnesium to magnesium oxide is 0.455 g magnesium/ 0.755 g magnesium oxide.

(a) What is the ratio of oxygen to magnesium oxide, by mass?

(b) What is the mass ratio of oxygen to magnesium in magnesium oxide?

(c) What is the percent by mass of magnesium in magnesium oxide?

Example 2-1

A 0.455 g sample of magnesium is allowed to burn in 2.315 g of oxygen gas. The sole product is magnesium oxide. After the reaction, no magnesium remains and the mass of unreacted oxygen is 2.015 g. What mass of magnesium oxide is produced?
