The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
Mg + 2HCl ---> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl₂ is 2:1
we have been told that Mg is in excess therefore HCl is the limiting reactant
number of HCl moles reacted - 0.100 mol/L x 0.0256 L = 0.00256 mol
according to molar ratio, number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00256/2
Therefore number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00128 mol
mass of MgCl formed - 0.00128 mol x 95.20 g/mol = 0.122 g
Ionic bond ?? i dont think so ? ?
