Solution
Magnesium reacts with oxygen in the ratio of 3:2 to form magnesium oxide.
The above relation states that magnesium and oxygen combine in a fixed ratio of 3:2 by mass.
Therefore, 3g of magnesium react with 2g of oxygen to form magnesium oxide.
1g of magnesium requires = 2/3g of oxygen = 0.66g of oxygen
24g of magnesium require = 24 × 0.66g of oxygen = 16g
16g of oxygen would be required to react completely with 24g of magnesium.
