Answer:
1.56 mol H₂
Explanation:
Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂
There are 4 Si moles per Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ mol. With that in mind we can calculate how many Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ moles are there in the sample, using the given number of silicon moles:
- 3.120 mol Si * [tex]\frac{1molMg_3(Si_2O_5)_2(OH)_2}{4molSi}[/tex] = 0.78 mol Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂
Then we can convert Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ moles into hydrogen moles, keeping in mind that there are 2 hydrogen moles per Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ mol:
- 0.78 mol Mg₃(Si₂O₅)₂(OH)₂ * 2 = 1.56 mol H₂
