Now the thing is :
Hydrochloric acid HCl , has covalent bonding (ie. electrons are shared) but still H and Cl has partial charges because Cl is highly electronegative.
When HCl is in gaseous state the H-Cl bond is very strong and magnesium is unable to react with it. But when it is in water ( water H2O ; O is highly electronegative so H has partial +ve charge O has partial -ve charge H of H2O Surround the Cl of HCl and break it in H+ and Cl-)
Now what happens is :
Mg gives 2 electrons 2H+ takes them forms 2H and combine to form H2 gas
Mg is now of the form Mg2+ Which combines with 2Cl- and form MgCl2
Hydrochloric acid increases the rate of oxidation of a metal such as magnesium.
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2 magnesium+Hydrochloric acid→magnesium chloride+water (H2O)
magnesium chloride? LOL
Magnesium chloride and copper chloride are formed in solution and hydrogen is released.
Magnesium metal would displace hydrogen from Sulphuric acid and form Magnesium sulphate anh Hydrogen gas would be liberated.
Hydrochloric acid increases the rate of oxidation of a metal such as magnesium.
magnesium chloride
Magnesium chloride is formed in solution and hydrogen is released.
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2 magnesium+Hydrochloric acid→magnesium chloride+water (H2O)
it would make magnesium chloride
magnesium chloride? LOL
Magnesium Chloride and water would be formed. MgO + 2HCl ------> MgCl2 +H2O
Carbon Dioxide
Magnesium chloride and copper chloride are formed in solution and hydrogen is released.
You would see bubbles (effervescence) of Hydrogen gas being given off as the reaction happens.Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid ------> Magnesium Chloride + HydrogenMetal + acid ------> Metal Salt + Hydrogen
Zinc metal would be what you are looking for
1 Mole of Magnesium (Mg) would react with 2 Moles of Hydrochloric acid (HCl), to produce 1 Mole of Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) (Salt), and 1 Mole of Hydrogen gas (H2).
