Question

The following reactions happen simultaneously when HCl is added to a mixture of Mg(OH)2
and MgCO3:
Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O
MgCO3 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2O + CO2
What volume (in mL) of 37 wt.% HCl solution (density = 1.2 g/mL) is needed to completely
react a 25-g mixture of 35.2% MgCO3 and 64.8% Mg(OH)2 by weight?
