Consider the reaction:

2Mg + O2 ------> 2MgO

The reaction is at equilibrium, the concentration of MgO is found to be 0.5.

What is the concentration of Mg and O2?
-------------------------------------------------------

Keq is not given... using the ICE table, I ended up with the following:

Keq = [MgO]^2 / [Mg]^2 * [O2]

Keq = [0.5]^2 / [2x - 0.5]^2 * [x - 0.5]

Keq = 0.25 / 2x(x - 1) + 0.25

Not sure what to do.. or if I'm even going in the right direction
