Answer:
The yield is 20 %.
Explanation:
Mg + 2 HCl → MgCl2 + H2
(12 g Mg) / (24.30506 g Mg/mol) x (1 mol H2 / 1 mol Mg) x (2.015894 g H2/mol) = 0.9953 g H2.
(0.2 g) / (0.9953 g) = 0.20 = 20% yield
Here we go, this is from an essay I once wrote, hope it helps.
Explanation:
In HCL, one positive atom is given to chlorine from hydrogen so that it can complete it's octate. chlorine take one electron from hydrogen.
In NaCl, Sodium takes one electron from chlorine to complete its orbit with eight electrons. Chlorine gives one electron to sodium.
