Answer 1

If 40.0 grams of magnesium is reacted with an excess of nitric acid. 3.3 g of hydrogen gas will be produced.

What is Stoichiometry ?

Stoichiometry helps us use the balanced chemical equation to measure quantitative relationships and it is to calculate the amounts of products and reactants that are given in a reaction.

What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

Now we have to write the balanced equation

Mg + 2HNO₃  → Mg(NO₃)₂ + H₂

According to Stoichiometry

$40.9\ \text{g Mg} \times \frac{1\ \text{mol Mg}}{24.31\ \text{g Mg}} \times \frac{1\ \text{mol}\ H_2}{1\ \text{mol Mg}} \times \frac{2.02\ g\ H_2}{1\ \text{mol}\ H_2}$

= 3.3 g H₂

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that If 40.0 grams of magnesium is reacted with an excess of nitric acid. 3.3 g of hydrogen gas will be produced.
