Rutherford created a planetary model for atoms after his experiments. Imagine if Rutherford's idea that electrons radiate energy
while orbiting around a nucleus was true. Which other model or scientific idea would have been strengthened by this? Bohr's model of the atom would have been strengthened because Bohr proposed that the energy of electrons is continuous. Bohr's model of the atom would have been strengthened because Bohr proposed that electrons can have only certain energy values. The idea that atoms are unstable would have been strengthened because the orbiting electron would lose energy and fall into the nucleus. The idea that atoms are unstable would be strengthened because the orbiting electron would absorb energy while moving and escape the pull from the nucleus.

Explanation:
Based on classical mechanics an electron would spiral and fall on the nucleus thus collapsing the atom. But it was quantum mechanics that proposed that electrons move in definite orbits around the nucleus. Electrons absorb a definite quantum of energy and move from a lower state to an excited state. Also electrons release a definite quantum of energy and move from excited to more stable state.
Every mole of MgCl2 reacts with 2 moles of KOH, therefore the 4 moles of KOH will only react with 2 moles of MgCl2, making it the limiting reagent and therefore KOH determines how much Mg(OH)2 is produced.
