Magnesium can be used as a “getter” in evacuated enclosures to react with the last traces of oxygen. (the magnesium is usually heated by passing an electric current through a wire or ribbon of the metal) If an enclosures of 0.452L has a partial pressure of O2 of 3.5 x 10^-6 torr at 27 Celsius, what mass of magnesium will react according to the following equation?
2 Mg (s) + O2 (g) —> 2 MgO (s)

Answer is 4.1 x 10^-9 g Mg
