One reaction that produces hydrogen gas can be represented by the following unbalanced chemical equation: Mg(s) + HCl(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
A. What mass of HCl is consumed by the reaction of 2.50 moles of magnesium?
B. What mass of each product is produced in part (a)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. 182.3 grams of HCl, are consumed.

B. The reaction produce 5 g of H₂ and 238 g of MgCl₂

Explanation:

This the balanced equation:

Mg (s)  + 2HCl (aq) →    MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Ratio between Mg and HCl is 1:2, so if I react 2.5 moles of Mg, I use the double of moles, of Hydrochloridric (5 moles)

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/m

Mass = Moles . Molar mass

Mass = 5 m . 36.46 g/m →  182.3 g

In this case, we have no limiting reactant and nothing is in excess. It is the same for the calculations to do the rule of three.

1 mol of Mg makes 1 mol of MgCl₂

2.5 moles of Mg makes 2.5 moles of MgCl₂

2 mol of HCl makes 1 mol of MgCl₂

5 moles of HCl makes 2.5 moles of MgCl₂

In conlussion, this reaction makes 2.5 moles of MgCl₂ and 2.5 moles of H₂

Molar mass H₂ = 2 g/m

Molar mass MgCl₂ = 95.2 g/m

2.5 moles . 2 g/m = 5 g H₂

2.5 moles . 95.2 g/m = 238 g MgCl₂

A. The mass of HCl is consumed is 182.3 grams.

B. The  mass of each product is produced  is  5 g of H₂ and 238 g of MgCl₂

Calculation of the mass:

A.

We know that

The balanced equation is

Mg (s)  + 2HCl (aq) →    MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

The ratio between Mg and HCl should be 1:2.

Due to this if I react 2.5 moles of Mg, So here I use the double of moles, of Hydrochloridric (5 moles)

So,

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/m

Now

Mass = Moles . Molar mass

Mass = 5 m . 36.46 g/m →  182.3 g

B.

We know that

1 mol of Mg makes 1 mol of MgCl₂

Likewise

2.5 moles of Mg makes 2.5 moles of MgCl₂

2 mol of HCl makes 1 mol of MgCl₂

5 moles of HCl makes 2.5 moles of MgCl₂

Now

Molar mass H₂ = 2 g/m

So,

Molar mass MgCl₂ = 95.2 g/m

Now

2.5 moles . 2 g/m = 5 g H₂

And,

2.5 moles . 95.2 g/m = 238 g MgCl₂
