Problem- Magnesium oxide can be made by heating magnesium metal in the presence of the oxygen. The balanced equation for the reaction is 2Mg(s) + O2(g) ? 2MgO(s).
When 10.0g of Mg is allowed to react with 10.4g O2, 11.9g MgO is collected.
A)-Determine the limiting reactant for the reaction?
B)-Determine the theoretical yield for the reaction?
C)-Determine the percent yield for the reaction?
I want you to explain the chemistry in this problem
