Answer: Magnesium Chloride $(MgCl_2)$ is produced other than hydrogen gas in the following reaction.

Explanation:

The given reaction is a type of single displacement reaction. This reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal in a chemical reaction.

For the reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid, magnesium metal is more reactive than hydrogen, so it will easily displace hydrogen from its chemical reaction.

The equation follows:

$Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)$

By Stoichiometry,

1 mole of magnesium metal reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mole of magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas.

Hence, the other product formed in the given reaction is magnesium chloride.

Properties of iron, barium, and phosphorus. Explain why nails are made of iron but they are never made of barium or phosphorus.

bearhunter [10]

Nails are made up of iron not of phosphorus and barium.

As both phosphorous and barium are relatively weaker than iron ,phosphorus breaks easily and barium is also fairly weak. Iron nails are already also not that strong, but their weight and strength are sufficient.

So the nails are made up of iron.

An ordered list of chemical substances is shown.

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 2, 4 and 5.

Explanation :

Combustion reaction : It is a type of reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with an oxygen molecule to give carbon dioxide, water as a product.

For example : Methane react with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

In the given list of chemical substances, $CuO,Cu_2O,Li_2O$ are in oxide form. They can not be both reactant and product of a single combustion reaction.

In the given list, $C_2H_5NH_2$ is the only hydrocarbon which shows a combustion reaction. That means $C_2H_5NH_2$ react with $O_2$ to give $CO_2,H_2O$ and $N_2$ as a product.
