Answer:
4 mol of KOH would produce 116.6 g of Mg(OH)₂
Explanation:
According to the following balanced equation:
- MgCl₂+ 2 KOH -----> Mg(OH)₂ + 2 KCL
One can note that 2 mol of KOH react with MgCl₂ to produce 1 mol of Mg(OH)₂.
using cross multiplication
2 mol of KOH → 1 mol of Mg(OH)₂.
4 mol of KOH → ?? mol of Mg(OH)₂.
no of moles of Mg(OH)₂ = (1 mol* 4 mol) / 2 mol =2 mol
Now we can convert moles of Mg(OH)₂ to grams using the formula
mass of Mg(OH)₂= (no. of moles * molar mass) = (2 mol * 58.3g/mol) = 116.6 g
- So, 4 mol of KOH would produce 116.6 g of Mg(OH)₂.
