Best Answer

The formula of magnesium sulphide is MgS, showing that a formula unit has one atom of each element. The gram Atomic Mass of magnesium is 24.305 and that of sulphur is 32.06. Therefore, when magnesium and sulphur are present in equal amounts by mass, sulphur is the limiting reactant. 1.0/32.06 or 0.031 moles of sulphur atoms are present. Therefore, the maximum amount of MgS that can result from reaction is 0.031 formula units of MgS. The gram formula mass of MgS is 56.365, so that 0.031 formula units of MgS will have a mass of 1.7 grams, to the justified number of significant digits.

no,iron sulphide is made up when sulphur and iron is heated.


What is the chemical name for MgSe?

On the surface, this would be magnesium sulphide, but magnesium sulphide is MgS. The compound here, Mg2S2, has the same ratio of magnesium to sulfur as MgS, but this compound, Mg2S2 is not one that exists. A molecule made of two atoms of magnesium and two atoms of sulfur, Mg2S2, will not form. A link can be found below to the "real" magnesium sulphide.

Does magnesium provide protein?

No, magnesium is a mineral. Protiens are made by amino acids, and you can get these from meat and dairy products, or the body makes them itself from carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur mainly.


Is iron sulphide a compound?

No, a compound always consists of two or more different elements chemically bonded together to form a new substance with different chemical properties to the individual components. Sulphur is an element.
