Question
what can cause hydrogen gas with pure magnesium plus what
Answers
GPT 3.5
When pure magnesium reacts with an acid, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), it can produce hydrogen gas. The reaction can be represented by the following equation:
2HCl + Mg → MgCl2 + H2
Other acids, such as sulfuric acid (H2SO4) or nitric acid (HNO3), can also react with magnesium to produce hydrogen gas.
It is important to note that this reaction occurs when pure magnesium is in contact with an acid. Pure magnesium by itself does not spontaneously release hydrogen gas.
