Answer 1

Answer:

781×10¯² g of MgCl₂.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl₂ + H₂

Next, we shall determine the mass of HCl that reacted and the mass of MgCl₂ produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of HCl = 1 + 35.5

= 36.5 g/mol

Mass of HCl from the balanced equation = 2 × 36.5 = 73 g

Molar mass of MgCl₂ = 24 + (35.5×2)

= 24 + 71

= 95 g/mol

Mass of MgCl₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 95 = 95 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

73 g of HCl reacted to produce 95 g of MgCl₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of MgCl₂ produced by the reaction of 6 g of HCl. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

73 g of HCl reacted to produce 95 g of MgCl₂.

Therefore, 6 g of HCl will react to produce = (6 × 95)/73 = 781×10¯² g of MgCl₂.

Thus, 781×10¯² g of MgCl₂ were obtained from the reaction.
