Answer to Question #123039 in General Chemistry for nancy

Question

In a closed chamber at SATP, a 1.00 gram magnesium strip is added to 10.0 mL of 1.0 M aqueous hydrogen chloride. Show a balanced equation for this reaction, then calculate the expected volume of hydrogen gas that would be produced

Answer 1

Mg + 2HCl =MgCl₂+ H₂

moles of Mg are equal to moles of hydrogen gas (1/24)

volume of hydrogen gas= 0.04 *22.4

0.93ml
