Based on the balanced chemical reaction, 2 moles of K reacts with 1 mole of Cl2. The mole ratio is therefore 2:1.
2.50 mol K x (1 mol Cl2 / 2 mol K) = 1.25 mol Cl2 "reacting"

There is an error in your question. You are asking how many moles of Cl2 are "produced" when actually it is a reactant and is "reacting" in this reaction. If you are asking how many moles are "reacting", then please see the solution below.04/23/21
