Answer 2

Answer:

Mass = 73.73 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Mg used = 24.48 g

Mass of HCl used = ?

Mass of hydrogen gas produced = 2.04 g

Mass of Magnesium chloride produced = 96.90 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl   →    MgCl₂ + H₂

Number of moles of Mg:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 24.48 g/ 24.305 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.01 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Mg with HCl from balance chemical equation.

                              Mg             :            HCl

                               1                ;               2

                            1.01              :           2/1× 1.01 = 2.02 mol

Mass of HCl react:

Mass = number  of moles × molar mass

Mass =  2.02 ×  36.5 g/mol

Mass = 73.73 g
