The mass of reacted magnesium chloride is 23.75g, percent by mass of solution magnesium chloride is 90.9%.
<h3>What is the relation between mass & moles?</h3>
Relation between the mass and moles of any substance will be represented as:
n = W/M, where
- W = given mass
- M = molar mass
Moles of MgCl₂ = 200g / 95g/mol = 2.1mol
Moles of NaOH = 20g / 0.5mol
Given chemical reaction is:
MgCl₂ + 2NaOH → 2NaCl + Mg(OH)₂
From the stoichiometry of the reaction it is clear that
- 1 mole of MgCl₂ = reacts with 2 moles of NaOH
- 0.5 mole of NaOH = reacts with (1/2)(0.5)=0.25 moles of MgCl₂
Mass of reacted MgCl₂ = (0.25mol)(95g/mol) = 23.75g
Percent by mass of MgCl₂ in the given solution mixture will be calculated as:
- % by mass = (Mass of MgCl₂ / Total mass of mixture) × 100%
- Percent by mass of MgCl₂ = (200/200+20)×100% = 90.0&
In the above reaction we obtain NaCl as a solid, and MgCl₂ is the limiting reagent in it, from which 2 moles of NaCl is produced means
- 0.25 moles of MgCl₂ = produces 0.5 moles of NaCl
Mass of NaCl = (0.5mol)(58.5g/mol) = 29.25g
Hence, mass of reacted MgCl₂ is 23.75g, percent by mass of solution magnesium chloride is 90.9% and mass of the obtained solid is 29.25g.
