If 348 grams of Mg(OH)2 reacts with excess HCl (this is CL chlorine, not C and I), how many moles of MgCl2 (this is CL chlorine,

not C and I) are produced?

Answer:

moles MgCl₂ = 5.97 moles

Explanation:

First, let0s write the overall reaction that is taking place here:

Mg(OH)₂ + HCl ----------> MgCl₂ + H₂O

Now, we need to balance this reaction:

Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl ----------> MgCl₂ + 2H₂O

Now, the exercise already stated that the HCl is in excess, so we can assume the magnesium hydroxide is the limiting reactant. If this is true, then, to get the moles of MgCl₂ produced, all we need to do is calculate the moles of Mg(OH)₂ that reacted, using the following expression:

moles = mass / MM

The atomic weights for Mg, O and H are:

Mg: 24.305 g/mol;  H: 1 g/mol;  O = 15.999 g/mol

Let's determine the molar mass of Mg(OH)₂:

MM = 24.305 + (2 * 15.999) + (2 * 1) = 58.303 g/mol

Now, let's determine the moles:

moles = 348 g / 58.303 g/mol = 5.97 moles of Mg(OH)₂

As we can see in the overall reaction, there is a mole ration between Mg(OH)₂ and MgCl₂ of 1:1, that's why we can conclude that the moles of Mg(OH)₂ would be the same moles of MgCl₂:

<h2>moles Mg(OH)₂ = moles MgCl₂ = 5.97 moles</h2>

Hope this helps

DaniilM [7]
<span>Africa was more south and west and South America was more south and east of their current positions. I would say this would be because because South America and Africa used to be together in Gondwanaland millions of years ago and then apparently drifted apart as Wegener thought and then with the advent of plate tectonics it became apparent that the mid-Atlantic ridge runs between them and due to spreading along it Africa and S America got separated.</span>

What does a mole of iron weigh
r-ruslan [8.4K]

As the atomic mass of iron is 55.847u

We say that it is the mass of one mole of iron.

By formula it can be find by

No.of mole=mass in g/molar mass

Mass in gram = no.of mole x molar mass

No.of mole =1

Molar mass = 55.847g

Mass in gram = 1x55.847

= 55.847g of Fe
