___MgO + ___S --> ___MgS + ___O2
Balance the equation and do the stoichiometry problem below:
If the reaction starts with 16g sulfur, how many grams of the compound product will be produced?
2MgO + 2S --> 2MgS + O2
16g S x 1mol/32g x 2mol MgS/ 2mol S x 56g/1mol = 28g MgS
mass MgS
Mg: 24g x 1 = 24g
S: 32g x 1 = 32g
total= 56 g
