The balanced equation for the reaction between Mg and HCl is as follows
Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to H₂ is 2:1
number of HCl moles reacted - 0.400 mol/L x 0.100 L = 0.04 mol of HCl
since Mg is in excess HCl is the limiting reactant
number of H₂ moles formed - 0.04/2 = 0.02 mol of H₂
we can use ideal gas law equation to find the volume of H₂
PV = nRT
where
P - pressure - 1 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 101 325 Pa
V - volume
n - number of moles - 0.02 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature in Kelvin - 0 °C + 273 = 273 K
substituting these values in the equation
101 325 Pa x V = 0.02 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 273 K
V = 448 x 10⁻⁶ m³
V = 448 mL
therefore answer is
c. 448 mL
1. Mg + CuSO4 —> MgSO4 + Cu
=> Single displacement reaction
2. 2HCI + Mg(OH)2 —> MgCI2 + H2O
=> Acid - base reaction
3.AgNO3 + NaCI —> AgCI + NaNO3
=> Double displacement reaction
The answer can be explained when you burn something cleanly (with a very hot item) or not. With a candle lots of Carbon dioxide is producted but when using a bunson burner hardly any CO2 is produced.
Answer: It is important for an equation to be balanced because if it is not then the reactants won't match the products.
Explanation: I don't know if you will understand this but here:
Let's say you're cooking eggs, you're reactants so to speak would be 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of oil so you put it together using heat and a pan. Your products have to match what you have in the beginning. You cannot have an equation that looks like this
Reactants = 3eggs + 1Tbsp oil ---pan/heat---> 6eggs + 1 cup of oil
You cannot get something from what you don't have. The number of how much of an element you have must be the same of both sides of the equation.
