Solid Magnesium is considered as active metal so it reacts with strong acids like HCl and H₂SO₄ liberating Hydrogen gas according to the following equations:
Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Mg(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂(g)
so the amount of solid magnesium decrease by addition of strong acid to it.
∆H = m x s x ∆T, where m is the mass of the reactants, s is the specific heat of the product, and ∆T is the change in temperature from the reaction.
Answer:
0.01144L or 1.144x10^-2L
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
V1 (initial volume) = 20.352 mL
P1 (initial pressure) = 680mmHg
P2 (final pressure) = 1210mmHg
V2 (final volume) =.?
Using the Boyle's law equation P1V1 = P2V2, the volume of the container can be obtained as follow:
P1V1 = P2V2
680 x 20.352 = 1210 x V2
Divide both side by 1210
V2 = (680 x 20.352)/1210
V2 = 11.44mL
Now we need to convert 11.44mL to L in order to obtain the desired result. This is illustrated below:
1000mL = 1 L
11.44mL = 11.44/1000 = 0.01144L
Therefore the volume of the container is 0.01144L or 1.144x10^-2L
