Best Answer

One molecule of oxygen will react with one molecule of hydrogen to produce one molecule of hydrogen peroxide: H2 + O2 --> H2O2 One half molecule of oxygen will react with one molecule of hydrogen to produce one molecule of water: H2 + ½O2 --> H2O ...but nobody would write it like that. It is more correct as follows: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

Magnesium reacts with Oxygen forming Magnesium Oxide:

Mg + (1/2) O2 --> MgO.

From the reaction equation one can see one magnesium atom reacts with one oxygen atom. As you have 5 million oxygen molecules (O2), you have 10 million oxygen atoms. Therefore, 10 million magnesium atoms can react with it.

Usually two in one molecule of oxygen, but three in a special form of oxygen named ozone. (In molecules of compounds, as contrasted with molecules of oxygen only, there can be from zero to some very large number of oxygen atoms.)

Magnesium Oxide is MgO and there is thus 1 atom each of magnesium and oxygen making a total of two atoms in a molecule of magnesium oxide.

Two magnesium atoms.


Why magnesiam oxide is not attacked by atmospheric oxygen?

The magnesium has reacted already with as much oxygen that it can (1 atom of oxygen to 1 atom of magnesium). There are no spare magnesium atoms left so the reaction has stopped, There is no energetically favourable way that further oxygen atoms can react.


How many moles of magnesium oxide are formed when 4 moles of magnesium react with oxygen Here is the formula 2 Mg plus O 2 is equal to 2 Mg O?

From the formula, you have 2 atoms of Magnesium combine with one oxygen molecule to form 2 molecules of magnesium oxide. So when 4 magnesium atoms combine with two molecules of oxygen you get 4 magnesium oxide molecules. So from 4 moles of magnesium you get 4 moles of Magnesium oxide.
