The reaction is between Mg and O2. 2Mg+O2->2MgO
the final formula of magnesium oxide is MgO.

The symbol equation for the reaction of magnesium with oxygen to form magnesium oxide is: 2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO
Half equations ?? The chemical formula of magnesium oxide is MgO.
The percent composition of magnesium (Mg) in MgO is 60%. This is because there is one magnesium atom (24.3 g/mol) and one oxygen atom (16.0 g/mol) in the formula unit MgO (40.3 g/mol), so dividing the molar mass of magnesium by the molar mass of MgO gives 0.603, or 60.3%.
Magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) has a higher percentage composition of magnesium than magnesium oxide (MgO) does. The percentage composition of magnesium in magnesium nitride is 72.2% and the percentage composition of magnesium in magnesium oxide is 60.3%.

The percent of Mg calculated will be too high. Let's say that you reacted 1.00 g of Mg and made some MgO, but so much MgO escaped as smoke that only 1.00 g of MgO was left. You would then conclude from the numbers that the mass of O in the MgO was zero! This would lead you to conclude that the percent of Mg in the MgO was 100 %, which is silly and clearly in error. Although this is an extreme example, it illustrates that the loss of MgO as smoke from the crucible leads to a percent of Mg (calculated) that is above the expected 60.3 %.
the symbol of magnesium is Mg.
"MgO" is magnesium oxide and "H" is hydrogen, as in "Mg + H(2)O => MgO + H(2)" MgO + H2 ---> H2O + Mg
The reaction is between Mg and O2. 2Mg+O2->2MgO
the final formula of magnesium oxide is MgO.
Yes! MgO+H2O=Mg((OH)2), Magnesium Hydroxide (a base).
No. MgO is magnesium oxide. It is a compound. Compounds cannot be considered as metals or nonmetals.
