1. draw, label and color code representative particles for each reactant(s) and each product(s) in a clear table for mg (s) + 2hcl (aq) --> mgcl2 (aq) + h2 (g) such as:

reactant(s) product(s)

include a color code key:

atom mg is denoted by the color:

atom h is denoted by the color:

atom cl is denoted by the color:

2. prove that this balanced equation shows conservation of particles. for full points, you need to specifically compare the number of each type of atom in the reactants and products and explain how your work demonstrates conservation of particles.

3. prove that this balanced equation shows conservation of mass. for full points, you need to calculate (show all your work) the total mass of the reactants and the total mass of the products using molar mass. for full points, you need to compare the total mass of the reactants and products and explain how your work demonstrates conservation of mass.
