How many grams of magnesium oxide can be produced when 97.2 g mg react with 88.5 g o2?

unbalanced equation: mg + o2 → mgo

To solve this problem, we determine the limiting reactant between magnesium and oxygen. In this case, we convert each to number of moles and divide by corresponding stoich coeff . In this case, Mg has 4.05 while O2 has 2.77. Hence we use the amount of O2. The mass of magnesium oxide is equal to 110.625 grams via stoich
