Magnesium carbonate is produced from the combination of magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide:
MgO(s) + CO2(g) → MgCO3(s)
A reaction vessel that initially contains 6.25 g of MgO(s) was charged with 6.25 g of CO2(g). MgO(s) and CO2(g) react until one is completely used up. Identify the reactant that remains after the reaction goes to completion.
