Question

Predict the products in the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. If you were conducting this reaction in the lab, what would be your clue that this was a chemical reaction? If silver replaced magnesium as one of the reactants, what would you expect to happen?

Answer 1

silver chloride will form

Answer 2

Hello There!

Predicting the products:
Mg + 2HCl ===> MgCl + H(2)

A clue would have to be if it starts bubbling.

If it was silver, i'd expect the silver to disappear and form silver chloride.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
