Question

How many moles of Mg(OH)2 will react with 2.5 mol HCI?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.25mole of Mg(OH)₂

Explanation:

The reaction is between Mg(OH)₂ and HCl, this is a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.

         Mg(OH)₂   +   2HCl   →   MgCl₂   + 2H₂O

The balanced reaction equation is given above.

           2 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of Mg(OH)₂

So,       2.5mole of HCl will react with $\frac{2.5}{2}$  = 1.25mole of Mg(OH)₂

The number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ is given as 1.25mol
