Cynthia has 200kg of magnesium. Calculate how much MgCl2 she can make.

Mg + Cl2 = MgCl2

784.4kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Mg  = 200kg

Unknown:

Mass of MgCl₂  = ?

Solution:

  The reaction equation is given as:

            Mg  +  Cl₂ →   MgCl₂

Find the number of moles of the given specie;

  Number of moles of Mg =   =   = 8230.5mole

So;

   1 mole of Mg will produce 1 mole of MgCl₂

   8230.5mole of Mg will produce 8230.5mole of MgCl₂

Mass of MgCl₂   = number of moles x molar mass

                    Molar mass of MgCl₂  = 24.3 + 2(35.5) = 95.3g/mol

 Mass of MgCl₂   = 8230.5mole x  95.3g/mol  = 784.4kg
