Question

The equation shows the reaction between magnesium and sulfuric acid

Mg + HSO. → MgSO. + H
(Mg=24, H=1, S=32 0=16)
5
In this maction, what mass of magnesium sulfate will be formed when 6g of magnesium reacts
with excess sulfuric acid?

Answer 1

Mg + Hso4 - Mgso4 + H

24g of magnesium- 120g of Mgso4

Xg. - 6g of Mgso4

Cross multiply

120x - 144

x = 144/120

x= 1.2g
