How many moles of H₂O are produced when 1 mole of Mg(OH)₂reacts with 1 mole of H₂SO₄?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Mg(OH)₂ and H₂SO₄ is:

Mg(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ → MgSO₄ + 2H₂O

From the equation, we can see that for every mole of Mg(OH)₂ that reacts with 1 mole of H₂SO₄, 2 moles of H₂O are produced. Therefore, if 1 mole of Mg(OH)₂ reacts with 1 mole of H₂SO₄, then the number of moles of H₂O produced is 2. Thus, the best choice is B.
