Question

(b)

Magnesium sulphate can be made from magnesium and dilute sulphuric acid.
This is the equation for the reaction.
Mg
+
H2SO4
MgSO4
+
H2
Calculate the mass of magnesium sulphate that would be obtained from 4g of
magnesium
(Show your working.)

Answer 1

Reaction

Mg+H2SO4 ----》MgSO4+H2

so calculate the moles of magnesium first

moles of magnesium = given mass of mg/molar mass of magnesium

moles = 4/24.30

moles = 0.1646

One mole of magnesium produces one mole of magnesium sulphate

so 0.1646 moles of mg will produce 0.1646 moles of MgSO4

Mass of MgSO4 = 0.1646× 120.366

MgSO4 = 19.81 gm

conclusion the mass of magnesium sulphate that would be obtained from 4g of

magnesium is 19.81 gm!!

I d k it's right or wrong but i tried :)
