Answer:
1.56 mol H₂
Explanation:
Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂
<em>There are 4 Si moles per Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ mol</em>. With that in mind we can <u>calculate how many Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ moles are there in the sample</u>, using the <em>given number of silicon moles</em>:
- 3.120 mol Si *
= 0.78 mol Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂
Then we can <u>convert Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ moles into hydrogen moles</u>, keeping in mind that <em>there are 2 hydrogen moles per Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ mol</em>:
- 0.78 mol Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ * 2 = 1.56 mol H₂
