Magnesium ribbon with a mass of 2g was placed into dilute hydrochloric acid. The
equation for this reaction is:
Mg(s) + 2HCI = MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
The magnesium ribbon reacted and completely disappeared in 30 seconds. Calculate
he rate of reaction.

Respuesta :

The rate of reaction of the magnesium ribbon in the dilute hydrochloric acid is 0.067 g/s.

What is rate of reaction?

Rate of reaction is the rate at which a reaction takes place. It is proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time.

Mg(s) + 2HCI = MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Rate of reaction = mass of magnesium reacted/time taken

Rate of reaction =  2 g /30 s

Rate of reaction =  0.067 g/s

Thus, the rate of reaction of the magnesium ribbon in the dilute hydrochloric acid is 0.067 g/s.
