Question:

In Example 2-1 we found that when 0.455 g of magnesium reacted with 2.315 g of oxygen, 0.755 g of magnesium oxide was obtained. Determine the mass of magnesium contained in a 0.500 g sample of 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?
