Mg + 2hcl --> mgcl2 + h2 if 4.8 moles of hcl reacts with excess magnesium, how many moles of magnesium chloride will be produced?

Taking stoichiometry in to consideration, take 1/2 of moles of HCl for moles of MgCl2. Use the equation n=m/M where

n = moles

m = mass

M = molar mass

[please do give the molar masses with the question. So if CONSIDERING molar mass of Mg = 24gmol^-1 and CL = 35.5gmol^-1]

M(MgCl2) = 95gmol^-1

m= n×M

m = 2.4 × 95 =228gmol^-1

when 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l naoh was mixed in a calorimeter with 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l hcl, both initially at 20.0 °c, the temperature increased to 22.1 °c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 279 j/°c.

the equation for the reaction is:

naoh + hcl → nacl + h₂o

moles of hcl = 0.0250 l hcl ×

0.700

mol hcl

1 l hcl = 0.0175 mol hcl

volume of solution = (25.0 + 25.0) ml = 50.0 ml

mass of solution = 50.0 ml soln ×

1.00

ml soln

= 50.0 g soln

δt=t2-t1

= (22.1 – 20.0) °c = 2.1 °c

the heats involved are

heat from neutralization + heat to warm solution + heat to warm calorimeter = 0

q1+q2+q3=0

nδh+mcδt+cδt=0

δh

+ 439.32 j + 585.9 j = 0

0.0175 mol ×

δh

= -1025.22 j

δh=1025.22j0.0175 mol= -58 600 j/mol = -58.6 kj/mol

the answer is minerals.
