Detailed Solution

The balanced chemical reaction is shown below:
              Mg + 12 O2  MgO
Moles:   1.024;0.5632

              0.512;0.074

               0.512- x;0.074-x2
Oxygen is limiting reagent so, 0.074-x2=0
x=0.072
Excess Mg = 0.512-0.072 mol
Mass of Mg is = 1 − 0.07 × 12 = 0.16 g
Thus, when 1.0 g of magnesium is burnt with 0.56 g O2​ in a closed vessel, 0.16 g of magnesium is left in excess.
