Calculate the mass percent of magnesium in the formation of magnesium oxide.(a) 0.3(b) 1.5(c) 0.67(d) 0.6The question was posed to me during an online interview.I would like to ask this question from Stoichiometry and Stoichiometric Calculations in division Chemistry Basic Concepts of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (d) 0.6

The best EXPLANATION: The chemical equation of formation of magnesium oxide is 2 MG(s) + O2(g) ® 2MgO(s). The formula for calculation of mass PERCENT is (mass of solute/mass of solution) X 100. Therefore 2(24)/2(24+16) = 0.6.
