CHEM 406: Biochemistry

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).
