· A 0.100g sample of Mg when combined with O2 yields 0.166g of Mgo, a
second Mg sample with a mass of 0.144g is also combined with O2. What
mass of MgO is produced from the second sample?​

Answer:

[tex]m_{MgO}=0.239gMgO[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen to yield magnesium oxide is:

[tex]2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO[/tex]

In such a way, for 0.144 g of magnesium reacting with sufficient oxygen, the mass of magnesium oxide, whose molar mass is 40.3 g/mol (2:2 mole ratio) turns out:

[tex]m_{MgO}=0.144gMg*\frac{1molMg}{24.3gMg} *\frac{2molMgO}{2molMg}* \frac{40.3gMgO}{1molMgO} \\\\m_{MgO}=0.239gMgO[/tex]

Best regards.
