Answer:
The correct option is;
D. (2)(56 g)
Explanation:
MgCl₂ + 2KOH → Mg(OH)₂ + 2KCl
From the balanced chemical reaction equation, we have;
One mole of MgCl₂ reacts with two moles of KOH to produce one mole of Mg(OH)₂ and 2 moles of KCl
Therefore, the number of moles of KOH that react with one mole of KCl = 2 moles
The mass, m, of the two moles of KOH = Number of moles of KOH × Molar mass of KOH
The molar mass of KOH = 56.1056 g/mol
∴ The mass, m, of the two moles of KOH = 2 moles × 56.1056 g/mol = 112.2112 grams
The amount in grams of KOH that react with one mole of MgCl₂ = 112.2112 grams ≈ 112 grams = (2)(56 g).
