5. When magnesium hydroxide and HCl are mixed together, magnesium
chloride and water are formed. In a particular reaction, 25.0 g of HCI is used with
enough magnesium hydroxide to completely react the HCl.
Mg(OH)₂ +HCI—-> MgCl2 + H20
(a) Balance this equation.
(b) Calculate the number of moles of hydrochloric acid available (25.0 g).
(c) How many moles and grams of magnesium hydroxide were needed for
complete reaction of the 25.0 g of HCI ?
