Expert Solution

1)

2 Mg + O2   ---------------> 2 MgO

48 g        32 g                         80 g

1.502                                       ??

48 g Mg   ----------------> 80 g MgO

1.502 g Mg   -------------->   ??

theoretical yield of MgO = 1.502 x 80 / 48 = 2.503 g

percent yield = (actual / theoretical ) x 100

                     = 1.699 / 2.503 ) x 100

percent yield = 67.87 %
