To calculate the mass of hydrogen gas produced, we need to use stoichiometry. The balanced equation for the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid is:
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2
From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of magnesium reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mole of hydrogen gas. The molar mass of hydrogen is approximately 2 g/mol.
1.5 g of magnesium is equivalent to 1.5/24.31 ≈ 0.062 mol of magnesium.
Since 1 mole of magnesium produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas, 0.062 mol of magnesium will produce 0.062 mol of hydrogen gas.
Therefore, the mass of hydrogen gas produced is 0.062 mol x 2 g/mol = 0.124 g.
To calculate the volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP, we can use the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
Where:
P = pressure (STP = 1 atm)
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = ideal gas constant (0.0821 L•atm/mol•K)
T = temperature (STP = 273 K)
Rearranging the equation to solve for V:
V = (nRT) / P
Plugging in the values:
V = (0.062 mol)(0.0821 L•atm/mol•K)(273 K) / 1 atm = 1.211 L
Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is 1.211 dm3.
To calculate the mass of MgCl2 produced, we can use the molar mass of MgCl2, which is 95.21 g/mol.
Since 1 mole of magnesium produces 1 mole of MgCl2, 0.062 mol of magnesium will produce 0.062 mol of MgCl2.
Therefore, the mass of MgCl2 produced is 0.062 mol x 95.21 g/mol = 5.89 g.

Bot, I believe there is a math error in the step below. I believe the correct ansewr is closer to 1.39 L
V = (0.062 mol)(0.0821 L•atm/mol•K)(273 K) / 1 atm = 1.211 L
V = (0.062 mol)(0.0821 L•atm/mol•K)(273 K) / 1 atm = 1.211 L
You are correct, I apologize for the math error. Let's recalculate the volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP:
V = (0.062 mol)(0.0821 L•atm/mol•K)(273 K) / 1 atm = 1.39 L
Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is approximately 1.39 dm3.
V = (0.062 mol)(0.0821 L•atm/mol•K)(273 K) / 1 atm = 1.39 L
Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is approximately 1.39 dm3.
