Answer:
Mass of hydrogen gas produced = 0.2 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of Mg = 0.2 mol
Number of moles of HCl = 0.2 mol
Mass of hydrogen gas produced = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂
Now we will compare the moles of of hydrogen with Mg and HCl.
Mg : H₂
1 : 1
0.2 : 0.2
HCl : H₂
2 : 1
0.2 : 1/2×0.2 = 0.1
HCl produced less number of moles of hydrogen gas it will act as limiting reactant.
Mass of hydrogen:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.1 mol × 2 g/mol
Mass = 0.2 g
