HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq)→H2O (l) + NaCl (aq)
Acid reacts with base to give H2O and salt
The compound Fe2O3 contains C) 5 total atoms.
This is because there are 2 atoms of Fe (iron) and 3 atoms of O (oxygen) bonded together in this compound, as denoted by the subscripts, and 2+3 = 5.
Hope this helps!
Solid Magnesium is considered as active metal so it reacts with strong acids like HCl and H₂SO₄ liberating Hydrogen gas according to the following equations:
Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Mg(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂(g)
so the amount of solid magnesium decrease by addition of strong acid to it.
If it loses an electron, it will become an ion.
