    4.05g of MgO

    Explanation:

    Mg + O₂ → MgO

    From the equation of reaction,

    1 mole of Mg produces 1 mole of MgO

    But 1 mole = molar mass

    Molar mass of Mg = 24g / mol

    Molar mass of MgO = (24+16) = 40g/mol

    From the equation of reaction,

    24g of Mg reacts to produce 40g of MgO

    2.43g of Mg will produce x g of MgO

    X = (2.43 * 40) / 24

    X = 97.2 / 24 = 4.05g of 4.05g

    The theoretical yield of MgO is 4.05g
