    Molarity = number of moles of solute / liters of solution

    Therefore,

    number of moles = molarity * volume

    number of moles of HF = 2.5 * 3.8 = 9.5 moles

    From the balanced equation given:

    one mole of Mg is required to react with two moles of HF, therefore, to get the number of moles of Mg that reacts with 9.5 moles of HF, we will just do a cross multiplication as follows:

    number of moles of Mg = (9.5*1) / 2 = 4.75 moles

    From the periodic table:

    molar mass of Mg = 24.305 grams

    number of moles = mass / molar mass

    therefore,

    mass = number of moles * molar mass

    mass og Mg = 4.75 * 24.305 = 115.44 grams

    Answer: (c)
