![**Chemical Reaction Problem:**
Given the following reaction:
\[ 2 \text{K} + \text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{KCl} \]
**Question:**
How many moles of \(\text{Cl}_2\) are needed to produce 90.8 moles of \(\text{KCl}\)?
**Details for Calculation:**
To solve this problem, consider the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation provided. According to the equation, 1 mole of \(\text{Cl}_2\) produces 2 moles of \(\text{KCl}\).
- **Steps:**
- Identify the molar ratio between \(\text{Cl}_2\) and \(\text{KCl}\), which is 1:2.
- Use this ratio to determine how many moles of \(\text{Cl}_2\) are required to produce 90.8 moles of \(\text{KCl}\).
By dividing the moles of \(\text{KCl}\) by 2, the moles of \(\text{Cl}_2\) needed will be calculated.
**Answer Box:** ------ (For student input)
