![### Chemical Reaction Calculation Example
**Problem Statement:**
Consider the following reaction:
\[ \text{MgCl}_2(\text{aq}) + 2 \text{NaOH}(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Mg(OH)}_2(\text{s}) + 2 \text{NaCl}(\text{aq}) \]
**Question:**
Calculate the volume of 0.169 M \(\text{MgCl}_2\) that is needed to react completely with 80.5 mL of 0.450 M \(\text{NaOH}\).
**Choices:**
1. 214 mL
2. 429 mL
3. 15.1 mL
4. 107 mL
**Detailed Diagram Explanation:**
There are no diagrams or graphs in this problem; it is purely a stoichiometric calculation based on the given chemical equation and concentrations.
**Solution Approach:**
To solve this, use the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation and the concept of molarity (moles per liter):
1. **Identify the molar ratio from the balanced equation:**
- According to the balanced chemical equation, 1 mole of \(\text{MgCl}_2\) reacts with 2 moles of \(\text{NaOH}\).
2. **Calculate the moles of \(\text{NaOH}\):**
- Molarity (M) = Moles of solute / Volume of solution in liters.
- Convert 80.5 mL of \(\text{NaOH}\) to liters: \( 80.5 \, \text{mL} = 0.0805 \, \text{L} \)
- Moles of \(\text{NaOH}\) = Molarity × Volume in liters
- Moles of \(\text{NaOH}\) = \( 0.450 \, \text{M} \times 0.0805 \, \text{L} \)
- Moles of \(\text{NaOH}\) = 0.036225 moles
3. **Use the stoichiometry to find moles of \(\text{MgCl}_2\):**
- Moles of \(\text{MgCl}_2\) = \( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fcedd0880-65ed-4b01-a33f-975175ec858a%2Fa7687d9e-5fd8-4624-8ae9-4eaf0b866a9b%2F89yzqp_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
