<span> Mg(OH)2(s) + 2HCl(aq) yield MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
grams HCl required = (50.6 grams Mg(OH)2) * (1 mol Mg(OH)2 / 58.3197 grams Mg(OH)2) * (2 mol HCl / 1 mol Mg(OH)2) * (36.453 grams HCl / 1 mol HCl) = 63.26 grams HCl required
Since there are only 45.0 grams HCl, then HCl is the limiting reactant.
theoretical yield MgCl2 = (45.0 grams HCl) * (1 mol HCl / 36.453 grams HCl) * (1 mol MgCl2 / 2 mol HCl) * (95.211 grams MgCl2 / 1 mol MgCl2) = 58.6 grams MgCl2 </span>
What part of it are you confused about
Answer: 462 g
Explanation:molar mass is M= 63.55 +2·(12.01+14.01)= 115.59 g/mol.
Mass m= n·M = 4.0 mol·115.59 g/mol= 462.36 g
500 mg in g :
1 g ----------- 1000 mg
? -------------- 500 mg
500 x 1 / 1000 => 0.5 g
total mass:
50 g + 0.5 g + 0.1 g => 50.6 g
hope this helps!
