The atomic number in an element is usually how many protons the element has. For example, Hydrogen has a 1 on top of the H (on the periodic table), therefore, Hydrogen has 1 proton. Oxygen has an 8 on top of the O (on the periodic table) so therefore, Oxygen has 8 protons.
Answer:
The mass of the products left in the test tube will be less than that of the original reactants.
Explanation
The equation for the reaction is
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
1.0 3.0 3.9 0.1
Assume you started with 1.0 g of Mg.
It will react with 3.0 g of HCl to form 3.9 g of MgCl2 and 0.1 g of H2
.
Mass of reactants = mass of products
1.0 g + 3.0 g = 3.9 g + 0.1 g
4.0 g = 4.0 g
The Law of Conservation of Mass is obeyed.
However, your test tube and its contents will weigh 0.1 g less than it did before the reaction.
Does that contradict the Law of Conservation of Mass? It does not.
One of the products was the gas, hydrogen, and it escaped from the test tube. You weren't measuring all the products, so test tube and its contents weighed less than before.

Answer: <em>
pH=2.25 </em></h3>
Explanation:
monochloroacetic acid also means: chloroacetic acid
pKa of monochloroacetic acid= 1.4 x 10^-3 (I believe this should have been given in the problem or perhaps in the textbook)
Formula: pH= pKa + log ( some number in M)
pH= -log (1.4 x 10^-3) + log (0.25M)= 2.85 + -0.602= 2.25
pH= 2.25
