Answer:-

KOH determines how much Mg(OH)2 is made.

2 mol of Mg(OH)2 formed

Explanation:-

The balanced equation is

MgCl2 + 2KOH --> Mg(OH)2+ 2KCI,

From seeing the coefficients we notice

2 mol of KOH reacts with 1 mol of MgCl2

4 mol of KOH reacts with 1 x 4 / 2 = 2 mol of MgCl2

3 moles of MgCl2 was added but only 2 mol react.

So we see there is excess MgCl2 .

Hence KOH is the limiting reactant.

So KOH determines how much Mg(OH)2 is made.

We see from the balanced chemical equation,

2 mol of KOH gives 1 mol of Mg(OH)2.

4 mol of KOH will give 1 x 4 /2 = 2 mol of Mg(OH)2.

Find the atomic numbers of the as yet undiscovered next two members of the series. radon
denpristay [2]
This answer is based on the electron configuration.

And you can use Aufbau's rule to predict the atomic number of the next elements.

Radon, Rn is the element number 86.

Following Aufbau's rules, the electron configuration of Rn is: [Xe] 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6. This means that you are suming 2 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 32 electrons with respect to the element Xe.

You can verity that the atomic number of Xe is 54, so when you add 32 you get 54 + 32 = 86, which is the atomic number of Rn.

Again, as per Aufbau's rules, the next element of the same group or period is when the 6 electrons of the 7p orbital are filled. For that, they have to pass 32 elements whose orbitals are:

7s2 5f14 6d10 7p6: count the electrons added: 2 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 32, and that is why the next element wil have atomic number 86 + 32 = 118.

Now, when you go for a new series, you find a new type of orbital, the g orbital, for which the model predict there are 18 electrons to fill.

So the next element of the group will have ; 2 + 18 + 14 + 10 + 6 = 50 electrons, which means that the atomic number of this, not yet discovered element, has atomic number 118 + 50 = 168.

By the way the element with atomic number 118 was already discovdered at its symbol is Og. You can search that information in internet.

Answers: 118 and 168
