Answer:

4.6 moles MgO

Explanation:

number of moles is equals to the mass in grams divided by RFM

RFM=16+24.3=40.3

187/40.3

=4.6 moles of MgO

During your final step you burn a strip of magnesium (Mg), which results in 187 grams of magnesium oxide (MgO) the results would be 4.6 moles Mgo. option B is correct.

What are moles?

The value of one mole is given by Avogadro's  number which is 2.303 × 10²³ moles but here the used weight is given so number of moles will be calculated with other formula.

A strip of  magnesium (Mg), which results in 187 grams of magnesium oxide (MgO) number of moles will be,

n = W / M

where , n = number of moles

            W = given weight

             M = molar mass

substituting the values in equation,

n = 187 / 40.30

n = 4.6 moles

Therefore, final step you burn a strip of magnesium (Mg), which results in 187 grams of magnesium oxide (MgO) the results would be 4.6 moles Mgo. option B is correct.
