Calculate the amount of magnesium that will react with 16.0 g of oxygen to produce 40.5 g of magnesium oxide. ​

24.3g

Explanation:

Mr of Oxygen = 16 (15.999)

Mr of Magnesium = 24.3 (24.305)

Mass / Mr = moles

16.0g / 16 = 1

Mr x moles = Mass

24.3 x 1 = 24.3g

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
