Answer: -
Temperature.
Explanation: -
The given chemical reaction is
MgO (s) + 601.7 kj → Mg(s) + ½ O₂(g)
From the given chemical equation we see that it is an endothermic reaction.
The heat is absorbed in this reaction.
For this heat to be absorbed, temperature of the reaction must be increased.
Thus we see temperature playing a dominant role in allowing this reaction to occur. Without temperature being raised, the reaction will not occur.
