    The chemical reaction involving Mg (OH) 2 and HCl is:

    Mg (OH) 2 + 2HCl - - > MgCl2 + 2H2O

    So we see that for every 2 moles of HCl, 1 mole of Mg is reacted.

    Calculating for moles HCl:

    moles HCl = 0.300 M * 0.215 L

    moles HCl = 0.0645 mol

    The moles Mg then is:

    moles Mg = 0.0645 mol * (1 / 2)

    moles Mg = 0.03225 mol
