A balanced equation for the reaction is 3 Mg + 3/2 O2 = 3 MgO. the Atomic Mass of mass of magnesium is about 24.3 and that of oxygen is about 16.0; therefore the mass of magnesium oxide produced is 3 (24.3 + 16.0) = 120.9 grams. (If the specification of "3 moles" of magnesium is considered to have only one significant digit, this answer should be written instead as 1 X 102 grams.)
If 3 grams of magnesium are used to form 4 grams of magnesium oxide, then 1 gram of oxygen is used in the reaction. This means 1 gram of oxygen remains unused.
The answer is 165,5 g water.
128 g of oxygen are needed.
Balanced equation first. 3Mg + N2 -> Mg3N2 55.3 grams Mg (1 mole Mg/24.31 grams)(1 mole Mg3N2/3 mole Mg)(100.95 grams/1 mole Mg3N2) = 76.5 grams Mg3N2 made ===================
Theoretically the mass is 62,3018 g.
If 3 grams of magnesium are used to form 4 grams of magnesium oxide, then 1 gram of oxygen is used in the reaction. This means 1 gram of oxygen remains unused.

When Magnesium burns, it is actually combining with oxygen in the air to form a new compound, magnesium oxide. If we were to carefully weigh a piece of magnesium before and after burning it, you would see that its weight increased by about one third. For example, if you start with 100 grams of magnesium, after the burn you would end up with about 130 grams of magnesium oxide. The fact that the magnesium oxide you create by burning is powdery, means that it takes up more space (size or volume) than the solid magnesium did.
The molar mass of magnesium is 24.3 g/mol and oxygen is 16 g/mol. The balanced equation is 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO. Since magnesium and oxygen react in a 1:1 ratio, all magnesium reacted to form magnesium oxide. Therefore, 2.5 grams of magnesium oxide was formed.
To determine the amount of oxygen, we first find the amount of magnesium by subtracting the given 20.0 grams of magnesium oxide from the total. Given that the molar mass of magnesium oxide is 40.3 g/mol and that of magnesium is 24.3 g/mol, we calculate the amount of oxygen by adjusting accordingly. This process gives us the weight ratio of magnesium oxide to oxygen.
4.00 grams of magnesium oxide is composed of 2.43 grams of magnesium (Mg) and 1.57 grams of oxygen (O). Therefore, to produce 4.00 grams of magnesium oxide, you would need 2.43 grams of magnesium.
Mass of Oxygen is approximately 16 grams. (15.9994 grams) per mole. Mass of Magnesium is approximately 24.305 grams per mole.

When magnesium is burned, it combines with oxygen from the air to form magnesium oxide. This reaction increases the overall weight of the magnesium because the newly formed magnesium oxide has a greater mass than the original magnesium metal due to the added oxygen atoms.
The answer is 165,5 g water.
If 12 grams of carbon were used to form the 22 grams of carbon dioxide, this implies that 12 grams of oxygen were consumed in the reaction. Since 20 grams of oxygen were initially available, only 8 grams of oxygen are left unused.
128 g of oxygen are needed.
