Magnesium metal (0.100 mol) and a volume of aqueous hydrochloric acid that contains 0.500 mol of hcl are combined and react to completion. how many liters of hydrogen gas, measured at stp, are produced? mg(s) + 2hcl(aq) → mgcl2 (aq) + h2 (g)

2.24 L of hydrogen gas, measured at STP, are produced.

Explanation:

Given, Moles of magnesium metal, = 0.100 mol

Moles of hydrochloric acid, = 0.500 mol

According to the reaction shown below:-

1 mole of Mg reacts with 2 moles of

0.100 mol of Mg reacts with 2*0.100 mol of

Moles of must react = 0.200 mol

Available moles of = 0.500 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of on reaction forms 1 mole of

0.100 mole of on reaction forms 0.100 mole of

Mole of = 0.100 mol

At STP,  

Pressure = 1 atm  

Temperature = 273.15 K

Volume = ?

Using ideal gas equation as:

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

1 atm × V L = 0.100 × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 273.15 K  

⇒V = 2.24 L

2.24 L of hydrogen gas, measured at STP, are produced.

- aluminum and copper chloride.

- the chloride ion to separate the aluminum from the oxygen so that the aluminum can react with the copper ions (and the water molecules).

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
