you put the hydrochloric acid in a test tube then you put the magnesium metal in the test tube with the hydrochloric acid in it then you put a cork on the top ofthe test tube and watch it fizz.

Name the element produced when magnesium and metal reacts with hydrochloric acid and how could you test for the presence of this element?

Mg HO + Cl


What would you feel if you touched a test tube of Magnesium and Hydrochloric Acid?

a high temprature and some suction


What would you use to test if a metal has reacted with hydrochloric acid?

The metal would most likely form a metal salt.


What happens when a piece of Mg ribbon is place in a test tube with Hydrochloric acid and cover the mouth of the test tube?

Metal + Acid --> Salt + Hydrogen Gas. As a result, the end product of this reaction is magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. Covering the mouth of the test tube simply prevents the hydrogen gas from escaping, and allows you to test for its presence by using a lighted splint.


What is the symbol equation for the pop test for hydrogen?

That depends on what chemicals were mixed in order to produce the hydrogen gas. For example, if it was the metal magnesium (Mg), and the acid hydrochloric acid (HCl), then the equation would be Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) -- > MgCl2(aq) + H2(g). Please note that the 2 after MgCl is supposed to be a subscript, as is the 2 after hydrogen. We are having difficulties with the subscripts and superscripts right now.


What is the best way to create hydrogen?

Mix Hydrochloric acid with strips of magnesium and catch the resulting gas using a balloon over a test tube


How can you collect hydrogen coming from a chemical reaction of magnesium ribbon and hydrochloric acid?

First of all, place bits of the magnesium into a test tube. Then pour the acid into the tube, in the meantime locking the tube with a balloon. Tighten it up and theres your stored hydrogen :)


What is the principle behind the shinoda test for flavonoids?

In the Shinoda test for flavonoids, a sample is added to pieces of magnesium and then hydrochloric acid is dripped on the sample. The color the sample turns indicates if there are flavonoids present or not.


Which acid you need to use for gold test hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid?

nitric acid


Why do you add hydrochloric acid to test for sulphate?

you do it for cabonates


Can concentrated nitric acid be used in flame test instead of concentrated hydrochloric acid?

Cleaning of the test wire (platinum or nickel-chromium alloy) may by realized with nitric acid or hydrochloric acid.Rinsing is made with demineralized water.


Will granite dissolve if you drop hydrochloric acid on it?

The primary constituent of granite is silicon dioxide (quartz), which is a network covalent solid and will not react with hydrochloric acid. However, about 25% of granite is made up of other metal oxides, most of which will react with hydrochloric acid to form water and metal ions. So although it will not dissove it, I would guess that the acid create something akin to pitting of the stone. Not quite sure about this last point so if anyone has experience with this please weigh in. Although I have hydrochloric acid, I do not have a granite countertop to test it out on (or a wife understanding enough not to kill me for trying).
