The relative formula mass of Mg(OH)2 is 58.33 g/mol. The relative formula mass, also known as the molar mass, of Mg(OH)2 can be calculated by adding up the atomic masses of each element in the chemical formula. The atomic mass of Mg is 24.31 g/mol, while the atomic mass of O is 16.00 g/mol and H is 1.01 g/mol. Since there are two OH groups in the formula, we multiply the atomic mass of O and H by 2. Thus, the relative formula mass (or molar mass) of Mg(OH)2 is: Mg + 2(O) + 2(H) = 24.31 g/mol + 2(16.00 g/mol) + 2(1.01 g/mol) = 58.33 g/mol.
