If 45.0 grams of magnesium hydroxide is heated, the amount of water that will be produced would be 13.90 grams

Stoichiometric calculations

From the equation of the reaction:

Mg(OH)₂  →  MgO + H₂O

The mole ratio of Mg(OH)₂ to H₂O is 1:1

Mole of 45 grams Mg(OH)₂ = 45/58.33 = 0.77 moles

Thus, the equivalent mole of H₂O produced would also be 0.77 moles.

Mass of 0.77 moles H₂O = 0.77 x 18.02 = 13.90 grams
