Answer: Magnesium oxide is produced by the calcination of magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide. The latter is obtained by the treatment of magnesium chloride solutions, typically seawater, with lime. Calcining at different temperatures produces magnesium oxide of different reactivity.
Equation : Magnesium + oxygen → magnesium oxide. 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO.
