okay i am in honors chem 1-2 and am a sophomore in high school, chemistry is not my strong point.

right now we are doing stoichiometry and i do not get it.

1NaOH+ 1HCl Rightwards Arrow 1NaCl+1H20

how would i figure out much water would me made in moles?

in grams?

and how many moles of HCl could you neutralize with 20g of magnesium hydroxide?

The balanced chemical equation tells you that 1 molecule of NaOH reacts with 1 molecule of HCl to yield 1 molecule of H2O and 1 molecule of NaCl.

Since 6.022x10^23 molecules = 1 mole, we can substitute "mole" for "molecule" in the above sentence.

1 mole of NaOH = 1 gram molecular weight = 40.0 g/mole
1 mole of HCl = 36.46 g/mol
1 mole H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Example: You started with 4.00 gram NaOH and an excess of HCl.
4.00 g NaOH / 40.0 g/mol =  0.100 mol NaOH.

From the balanced chemical equation you know that 0.100 mole of NaOH will yield 0.100 mole of H2O.

Moles x grams/mole = grams
0.100 mole H2O x 18.02 g/mol = 1.802 gram H2O

Il start with your second question first
Using n=m/mr
n=20/51
n=0.39mol of MgOH.

As the ratio is 1:1, the number of moles is the same so the number of moles of HCl is 0.39.
So 0.39 moles of HCl will neutralize 20g of MgOH

I presume that the experiment is using 20g of so number of moles of water made is 0.39.
