magnesium + dilute acid=magnesium dilute hydroxide and hydrogen
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) ==> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)The reaction produces magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas.
The magnesium will react with the acid to produce hydrogen gas and a magnesium salt.
*when putting a piece of magnesium into dilute hydrocloric acid . *then hydrogen gas bubbles off. *this shows that magnesium react quickly in acid.
Magnesium will react with sulfuric acid to produce magnesium sulfate.
No. Copper will not react with most acids. It will react with nitric acid to produce nitrogen dioxide. Gold and platinum will not react with nitric acid but will react with aqua regia, a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids to produce nitrogen dioxide and some nitric oxide. Rhenium does not react with acid at all.
I am assuming you are mixing Magnesium and Zinc metals with an acid which would produce Hydrogen gas.
Almost any acid will react with magnesium to produce hydrogen.
The magnesium will react with the acid to produce hydrogen gas and a magnesium salt.
Magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2 magnesium+Hydrochloric acid→magnesium chloride+water (H2O)
Magnesium react easily with hydrochloric acid and magnesium chloride is obtained.
I only know 3 metals that react with acids to produce hydrogen. They are Zinc, iron and magnesium. There are 3 acids which react with them: and It will produce hydrogen gas which is the lightest known gas and is flammable :)
hydrogen gasmagnesium + sulfuric acid → magnesium sulfate + hydrogen
HC2H3O2 is acetic acid. Magnesium will react with water or acids to produce hydrogen gas.
The metal "dissolves" vigorously, producing Hydrogen gas which is seen as a fizzing and a magnesium salt is formed also.
This reaction makes hydrogen gas escape from magnesium surface immersed in acid solution. Also a magnesium salt is formed.
Sulfuric acid will react with magnesium and most other metals to produce hydrogen gas.
Sure, it will. Magnesium is a very active metal and reacts with all acids to liberate hydrogen gas.
