Magnesium oxide decomposes into magnesium and oxygen. if 16.12 g of magnesium oxide decomposes to form 9.72 g of magnesium, what mass of oxygen gas is also released in the reaction?

Respuesta :

The mass of oxygen gas is released in the reaction of decomposition  of magnesium oxide  6.4 grams

calculation

mass of oxygen=mass of  magnesium oxide -mass of magnesium produced

that is  16.12-9.72=6.4 grams
