Excess sodium hydroxide is added to a solution containing 4. 6 grams of magnesium chloride. A reaction takes place according to this equation:

2NaOH(aq) + MgCl2(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + Mg(OH)2(s).

The magnesium hydroxide produced by the reaction was collected and weighed. If the mass of the magnesium hydroxide was 2. 7 grams, what was the percent yield? Use the periodic table. A. 48% B. 59% C. 61% D. 96%
