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 10.0 g Mg is allowed to react with 10.5 g O2, 11.8 g MgO is collected.
Determine the theoretical yield for the reaction.
Determine the percent yield for the reaction.
