Hydrogen gas can be produced by the reaction of magnesium metal with hydrochloric acid by the reaction below. mg 2hcl → mgcl2 h2 if 4.00 g of mg is reacted with 3.20 g of hcl, what is the limiting reactant? mg hcl

The limiting reactant will be HCl.

Limiting reactants

They limit the amount of products produced in reactions.

From the equation, the mole ratio of Mg to HCl is 1:1.

Mole of 4.00 g mg = 4/24.3 = 0.1646 moles

Mole of 3.2 g HCl = 3.2/36.458 = 0.0878 moles

Thus, Mg is in excess while HCl is limiting in availability.
