Question
**Chemical Reaction Problem:**

Given the following reaction:

\[ 2 \text{K} + \text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{KCl} \]

**Question:**  
How many moles of \(\text{Cl}_2\) are needed to produce 90.8 moles of \(\text{KCl}\)?

**Details for Calculation:**

To solve this problem, consider the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation provided. According to the equation, 1 mole of \(\text{Cl}_2\) produces 2 moles of \(\text{KCl}\).

- **Steps:**
  - Identify the molar ratio between \(\text{Cl}_2\) and \(\text{KCl}\), which is 1:2.
  - Use this ratio to determine how many moles of \(\text{Cl}_2\) are required to produce 90.8 moles of \(\text{KCl}\).

By dividing the moles of \(\text{KCl}\) by 2, the moles of \(\text{Cl}_2\) needed will be calculated.

**Answer Box:** ------ (For student input)
