APPLICATION BASED QUESTIONS Question. 1. When 3.0 g of magnesium is burnt in 2.00 g of oxygen, 5.00 g of magnesium oxide is produced. What mass of magnesium oxide will be formed when 3.00 g magnesium is burnt in 5.00 g of oxygen? Which law of chemical combination will govern your answer? State the law. When 3.0 g of magnesium is burnt in 2.00 g of oxygen, 5.00 g of magnesium oxide is produced. It means magnesium and oxygen are combined in the ratio of 3 : 2 to form magnesium oxide. Thus, when 3.00 g of magnesium is burnt in 5.00 g of oxygen, 5.00 g of magnesium oxide will be formed and the remaining oxygen will be left unused. It is governed by law of definite proportion. It states that in a chemical substance, the elements are always present in definite proportions by mass
