Mg (s) + HCl (aq) → MgCl₂(s) + H₂(g)
Looking at the equation :
We have 1 Mg at the left hand side and 1 Mg as well on the right hand side.
So that is balanced.
We have 1 H at the left hand side and 2 H on the right hand side.
So that is not balanced. Same for Chlorine. Cl.
We add 2 to the HCl on the left hand side and that balances it.
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(s) + H₂(g)
You haven't attached any options but anyways, to help you with your question, elements belonging to the same group (e.g. alkali metals, noble gases) all have the same chemical properties. Hydrogen, for example, have the same properties with Sodium, Potassium and Lithium.
By definition, Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor in the acid-base neutralization reaction. When a weak acid like acetylsalicylic acid is reacted with water, the water here acts as the Bronsted-Lowry base. This is possible because water has properties of amphoterism - can act as an acid or base. In this case, acetylsalicylic acid would have to donate its H+ atom to water, so that it would yield a hydronium ion, H₃O⁺. The complete net ionic reaction is shown in the picture.
So, in the reaction, the products yield are the acetylsalicylate ion and the hydronium ion.
Answer:
Explanation:
Use your other senses such as touch or smell, does it react in different temperatures, is it then visible under a microscope, does it react with different elements or gases? Think outside the box.
