Solid magnesium metal reacts with chlorine gas according to the following equation:

Mg + Cl2 --> MgCl2

What mass of magnesium chloride is formed in the reaction between 7 g of Mg and 13.2 g of Cl2

I got 7/24.3= .288
13.2/70.90= 1.861777

YOu got moles of Mg, and moles of Cl2. The reaction then will be limited by the moles of Mg.

So you will get .288moles of MgCl2

massMgCl2=.288*molmassMgCl2
