In the reaction mgcl2 + 2koh mg(oh)2+ 2kci, if 3 moles mgch are added to 4 moles koh, what determines how much mg(oh)2 is made?

-

KOH determines how much Mg(OH)2 is made.

2 mol of Mg(OH)2 formed

Explanation:-

The balanced equation is

MgCl2 + 2KOH --> Mg(OH)2+ 2KCI,

From seeing the coefficients we notice

2 mol of KOH reacts with 1 mol of MgCl2

4 mol of KOH reacts with 1 x 4 / 2 = 2 mol of MgCl2

3 moles of MgCl2 was added but only 2 mol react.

So we see there is excess MgCl2 .

Hence KOH is the limiting reactant.

So KOH determines how much Mg(OH)2 is made.

We see from the balanced chemical equation,

2 mol of KOH gives 1 mol of Mg(OH)2.

4 mol of KOH will give 1 x 4 /2 = 2 mol of Mg(OH)2.
