Answer:
Part 1: 229.95g
Part 2: 598.5g
Part 3: 12.6g
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: I learned this last week. Answer not sure.
Pls tell me if i got it right or wrong.
Mg + HCl - > MgCl2 + H2
First, balance the equation.
There is only 1 H and 1 Cl at the left side. BUT there are 2 Cl and 2 H at the right side. So you can add a 2 in front of HCl to balance it.
Mg + 2HCl - > MgCl2 + H2
Formula 1: (n= m/mr)
n = moles, m= mass, mr = molecular mass
Formula 2: (n= v/24)
v = volume
Part 1
What mass of HCl is consumed by the reaction of 3.15 mol of magnesium?
Ratio of
(look at the number in front of each)
2HCl : Mg
2 : 1
(3.15 x 2) : 3.15 moles
6.3 moles : 3.15 moles
So 2HCl has 6. 3 moles
Now use formula 1 (n = m/mr)
Calculate molecular mass of HCl
Check your periodic table
mr of HCl =(1 + 35.5) = 36.5
6.3 = m/36.5
m = 229. 95grams
Part 2
What mass of MgCl2 is produced? Answer in units of g.
Ratio of
2HCl : MgCl2
(1 +35.5) : (24+35.5x2)
36.5: 95
229.95g :?
229.95g : 598.5g
m = 598.5g
Part 3
What mass of H2 is produced? Answer in units of g.
2HCl : H2
36.5 : 2
229.95g :?
229.95g : 12.6g
m = 12.6g
