Answer:
145.8g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of moles of magnesium hydroxide = 2.5mol
Unknown:
Mass of Mg(OH)₂ = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem we use the expression below;
Mass of Mg(OH)₂ = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 24.3 + 2(16 + 1) = 58.3g/mol
Mass of Mg(OH)₂ = 2.5 x 58.3 = 145.8g
