Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Balanced] 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

[Given] 5.8332 g Mg

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 2 mol Mg = 2 mol MgO

Molar Mass of Mg - 24.31 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of MgO - 24.31 + 16.00 = 40.31 g/mol

Step 3: Stoichiometry

1. Set up:
   `\displaystyle 5.8332 \ g \ Mg((1 \ mol \ Mg)/(24.31 \ g \ Mg))((2 \ mol \ MgO)/(2 \ mol \ Mg))((40.31 \ g \ MgO)/(1 \ mol \ MgO))`
2. Multiply/Divide:
   `\displaystyle 9.67241 \ g \ MgO`

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 5 sig figs.

9.67241 g MgO ≈ 9.6724 g MgO
