Answer:
15g
Explanation:
First, you need to correct the answer to the previous question. The percentage by mass of Mg in MgO =
Mg = 24.3 amu
O = 16.0 amu
The total mass of MgO = 40.3 amu
To calculate the percent composition of Mg:
% = 24.3/40.3 x 100
% = 60
To calculate the mass of Mg needed to make 25g of MgO:
x/25g = 60%/100%
100x = (25)(60)
100x = 1500
x = 15g
