The given reaction pathway involves the stepwise transformation of magnesium oxide (MgO) to magnesium sulfide (MgS) through several intermediate compounds. The reaction steps are as follows:
MgO reacts with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to form magnesium sulfate (MgSO4).MgSO4 reacts with water (H2O) to form magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2).Mg(OH)2 reacts with heat to decompose back into MgO.MgO reacts with sulfur (S) to form magnesium sulfide (MgS).
This reaction pathway demonstrates the versatility of magnesium compounds and their ability to undergo various chemical reactions to form different products.
