Mass of magnesium required to produce 220 mL of hydrogen gas at STP on reaction with excess of dil. HCl is
Given: Molar mass of Mg is 24 g mol-1. [2025]
(3)
Moles of hydrogen gas (nH2)
=Volume of hydrogen at STP in mL22400=22022400 mol
Mg+2HCl→MgCl2+H2
As per reaction stoichiometry, moles of Mg (nMg) = nH2
=22022400 mol
Mass of Mg (WMg)
=nMg×MMg
=22022400×24 g =0.2357 g=235.7 mg
