Although we generally think of combustion reactions as

Although we generally think of combustion reactions as involving oxygen gas, other rapid oxidation reactions are also referred to as combustions. For example, if magnesium metal is placed into chlorine gas, a rapid oxidation takes place, and magnesium chloride is produced. Mg(s) + Cl₂(g) → MgCl2 (s) What volume of chlorine gas, measured at STP, is required to react completely with 4.34 g of magnesium?
