They have oxygen.

No. they don't both have oxygen, Magnesium Oxide has composed of well, magnesium (1) and oxygen. While Sodium chloride or table salt, is composed of sodium and chlorine (like the stuff in the pools)

But even though they are enitrely different compounds, they are both ingested. Or used in alot of peoples lives. Magnesium oxide is a drug though. I wouldn't want to sprinkle that on a steak.

Can sodium oxide change to sodium chloride?

Oxide can not change to chloride, so the actual answer is no. However- if you put sodium oxide together with hydrochloric acid it will end up as sodium chloride and water (and a lot of noise, probably).


Calcuate the mass of sodium chloride produced if 12.3 g of sodium oxide reacts with an excess of calcium chloride?

To calculate the mass of sodium chloride produced, first balance the chemical equation for the reaction between sodium oxide and calcium chloride. Next, determine the molar ratio between sodium oxide and sodium chloride in the balanced equation. Finally, use the given mass of sodium oxide and the molar mass of sodium chloride to calculate the mass of sodium chloride produced.
