<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Mole ratio is defined as the ratio between the stoichiometric coefficients of the molecules present in the chemical reaction.
For the given balanced chemical equation:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
3 moles of iron metal reacts with 4 moles of water to produce 1 mole of iron oxide and 4 moles of hydrogen gas.
The mole ratio of
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

<u>Step 1: Define</u>
[RxN - Balanced] 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
[Given] 5.8332 g Mg
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
[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
