Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. Write a balanced chemical equation for t

he reaction. If 0.510 g of magnesium reacts with 0.500 L of hydrochloric acid, determine the molarity and pH of the hydrochloric acid solution. Determine the volume of hydrogen gas that will be produced if the reaction takes place at 25 °C and 1.00 atm.

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation is Mg + 2HCl ⇒ MgCl2 + H2

The molarity of the hydrochloric acid solution is HCl 0.04 M and the pH = 1.4.

The volume of hydrogen gas produced by the reaction of 0.510 g of Mg will be 0.482 L.

Explanation:

First, for the balanced equation you have to consider the oxidation state of the elements to find subscripts. Then you can find the correct coeficients. Mg= +2, Cl = -1.

Mg + HCL ⇒ MgCl2 + H2

For the molarity of the solution you have to notice tha if 0.510 grams of Mg reacts with 0,5 L of hydroclhoric acid, and from the previous equation 1 mol of Mg reacts with 2 mol HCl.

The atomic mass of Mg = 24.31 grs/mol

24.31 grs------------ 1 mol Mg

0.510 grs------------ x=0.02 mol Mg.

If 1 mol of Mg reacts with 2 mol HCl, then 0.02 mol of Mg will react with

0.04 mol HCl. So, the molarity of the solution is 0.04 M HCl.

Then to calculate the pH we use the formula pH = - log [H+]

⇒ pH = -log [0.04]⇒ pH=1.4.

Finally, from the balanced equation and the findings described, and considering that at 25°C and 1.00 atm 1 mol of gas has volume of 24.1 L.

1 mol H2----------- 24.1 L

0.02 mol H2----- x= 0.482L.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

[H_{3}O^{+}] = 0.00770 M

The equilibrium equation representing the dissociation of FCH_{2}COOH

FCH_{2}COOH(aq) + H_{2}O (l)    FCH_{2}COO^{-}(aq)+ H_{3}O^{+}(aq)

Given [H_{3}O^{+}] = 0.00770 M

Let the initial concentration of acid be x and change y

So y = [H_{3}O^{+}] =[FCH_{2}COO^{-}] = 0.00770 M

pK_{a} = 2.59K_{a} = 10^{-2.59}   = 0.00257 M

K_{a} = \frac{(0.00770 M)(0.00770 M)}{x - 0.00770}

0.00257 = \frac{0.00005929}{x - 0.00770}

0.00257 x - 0.00001979 = 0.00005929

x = 0.031 M

Therefore, initial concentration of the weak acid is <u>0.031 M</u>
