Expert Solution
Step 1

The balanced equation for Magnesium from Mg : 

2Mg   + O2 ==> 2MgO

1) mass of empty crucible = 18.1314 g 

Mass of crucible with Mg = 18.2537 g 

Mass of Mg = mass of crucible with Mg - mass of crucible = (18.2537 g ) - (18.1314 g) = 0.1223 g 

Mass of Mg = 0.1223 g 

Molar mass of Mg = 24.31 g/ mol 

Moles of Mg = given mass of Mg ÷ molar mass of Mg = (0.1223 g) ÷ (24.31 g/mol) = 0.005 mol
