Answer:
The mass of hydrogen gas liberated is 0.6 g.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of Mg = 6.5 g
Mass of hydrogen gas liberated = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂
Now we will calculate the number of moles of Mg.
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Number of moles = 6.5 g/ 24 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.3 mol
Now we will compare the moles of Mg with hydrogen gas.
Mg : H₂
1 : 1
0.3 : 0.3
Mass of H₂:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.3 mol × 2 g/mol
Mass = 0.6 g
