How many moles of Mg(OH)2 will react with 2.5 mol HCI?

1.25mole of Mg(OH)₂

Explanation:

The reaction is between Mg(OH)₂ and HCl, this is a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.

         Mg(OH)₂   +   2HCl   →   MgCl₂   + 2H₂O

The balanced reaction equation is given above.

           2 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of Mg(OH)₂

So,       2.5mole of HCl will react with  = 1.25mole of Mg(OH)₂

The number of moles of Mg(OH)₂ is given as 1.25mol

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.
