In this video, the problem involves calculating the mass of magnesium oxide (MgO) produced when 14.8 liters of oxygen gas react with magnesium metal according to the chemical equation 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO. The stoichiometric relationship is used to determine that 0.6607 moles of oxygen gas results in 1.3214 moles of MgO, with a final calculation yielding a mass of 53.25 grams of MgO formed during the reaction at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP).
