State the periodic law and explain how it relates to the periodic table.
_Mg + _HCL = _MgCl2 + H2
Separate the terms on each side:
_Mg + _HCl = _MgCl2 + H2
Mg- 1 Mg-1
H-1 H-2
Cl-1 Cl-2
Mg is balanced on both sides so move on to the next (put a 1 in the space).
1Mg
There are two H's and two Cl's on the results side, so to balance the equation put a 2 as a coefficient for HCl and it'll all balance out.
2HCl
Balamced equation will be:
1Mg + 2HCL = 1MgCl2 + H2
<span>Salt is the product formed by a reaction in which the hydrogen atoms of an acid are replaced by the atoms of a metal. The salt is formed as a result of the neutralization of the acid by base, that is the metal or positive ion replace the hydrogen ion in the acid. For instance: NaO + H2SO4 = NaSO4 + H2O. In this example, Na [sodium] has replaced the hydrogen in H2SO4, thereby forming the salt NaSO4.</span>
