What is the percent composition of magnesium Mg in 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%.


What one has a higher mass percent of magnesium MgO or Mg3N2?

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%.


What is the percent composition of magnesium mg in mg?

mg


If some magnesium oxide had escaped from The Crucible would the percentage composition calculation of magnesium be too high or too low?

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 %.


What is the atomic symbol for magnesium?

the symbol of magnesium is Mg.


What is the chemical equation for Magnesium Oxide with Hydrogen?

"MgO" is magnesium oxide and "H" is hydrogen, as in "Mg + H(2)O => MgO + H(2)" MgO + H2 ---> H2O + Mg
