Answer:
120g of magnesium oxide is formed
Explanation:
the balanced equation is
2Mg+O₂ ⇒ 2MgO
by atomic mass the equation is
48g of magnesium gives 80g of magnesium oxide(ignore Oxygen)
in the question
72 g of magnesium gives X g of magnesium dioxide
so through variation method
72/48 * 80 = 120
therefore 120g of magnesium dioxide is formed
