Read the chemical equation. Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2 How many moles of MgCl2 are produced from 1 mole of HCl? 0.2 0.5 1.0 1.5

0.5 mol MgCl₂

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

Mg + 2 HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

In words, 1 mole of Mg reacts with 2 moles of HCl to form 1 mole of MgCl₂ and 1 mole of H₂.

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

The molar ratio of HCl to MgCl₂ is 2:1.

Step 3: Calculate the moles of MgCl₂ produced from 1 mole of HCl

1 mol HCl × (1 mol MgCl₂/2 mol HCl) = 0.5 mol MgCl₂
