Number of moles of Hydrogen gas produced = 2.5 moles
Given the balanced chemical equation,
This means, 1 mole of Mg and 2 moles of HCl gives 1 mole of Hydrogen gas.
Given that 2.5 moles of Magnesium is taken and an excess of Hydrochloric acid.
The mole ratio of Magnesium and Hydrogen = 1:1
Thus 2.5 moles of Magnesium with an excess of Hydrochloric acid will yield 2.5 moles of Hydrogen gas.
[By referring excess of HCl, we may assume that it contains at least 5 moles of HCl. Then only 2.5 moles of Mg will produce 2.5 moles of Hydrogen gas].
