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.
Answer:
Explanation:
Nickel is the only metal listed. Metal elements have metallic bonds between the metal atoms. Positive metal ions in a sea of electrons.
Answer : The percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.
Explanation :
To calculate the percentage composition of element in sample, we use the equation:

Given:
Mass of carbon = 1.94 g
Mass of hydrogen = 0.48 g
Mass of sulfur = 2.58 g
First we have to calculate the mass of sample.
Mass of sample = Mass of carbon + Mass of hydrogen + Mass of sulfur
Mass of sample = 1.94 + 0.48 + 2.58 = 5.0 g
Now we have to calculate the percentage composition of a compound.



Hence, the percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.
