Answer to Question #52439 in Inorganic Chemistry for kayla

Question

How many moles of magnesium chloride can be produced with 3 moles of chlorine?

Answer 1

Magnesium combines with chlorine to form magnesium chloride during a synthesis reaction:
Mg + Cl2 = MgCl2
It is shown that from 1 mole of chlorine we can obtain 1 mole of magnesium chloride, so from 3 mol of chlorine we will obtain 3 mol of magnesium chloride.
