Magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] is an ingredient in some antacids. How many grams of Mg(OH)2 are needed to neutralize the acid in 158 mL of 0.106 M HCl(aq)? It might help to write the balanced chemical equation first.

1.95g of Mg(OH)2 are needed

Explanation:

Mg(OH)2 reacts with HCl as follows:

Mg(OH)2 + 2 HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O

Where 1 mole of Mg(OH)2 reacts with 2 moles of HCl

To solve this question we must find the moles of acid. Then, with the chemical equation we can find the moles of Mg(OH)2 and its mass:

Moles HCl:

158mL = 0.158L * (0.106mol / L) = 0.01675 moles HCl

Moles Mg(OH)2:

0.01675 moles HCl * (2mol Mg(OH)2 / 1mol HCl) = 0.3350 moles Mg(OH)2

Mass Mg(OH)2 -Molar mass: 58.3197g/mol-

0.3350 moles Mg(OH)2 * (58.3197g / mol) =

to be fair, you have to have a very high iq to understand rick and morty. the humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. there's also rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from narodnaya volya literature, for instance. the fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about life. as a consequence people who dislike rick & morty truly are idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in rick's existential catchphrase "wubba lubba dub dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to turgenev's russian epic fathers and sons. i'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as dan harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. what fools.. how i pity them.

and yes, by the way, i do have a rick & morty tattoo. and no, you cannot see it. it's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 iq points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. nothin personnel kid
