Best Answer

First of all write down the BALANCED reaction equation.

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) = MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

We note that the molar ratios are 1:2::1:1

Next calculate the moles of Mg

mol(Mg) = 4.3 / 24.3 (Atomic Mass)

mol(Mg) = 0.17695...

Hence by equivalence with the mole ratios

0.17695... moles of MgCl2 are produced.

NB

1:2::1:1 becomes 0.17695 , 0.353909...:: 0.17695...:0.17695...

695... : 0.

Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2

4.3g Mg x 1 mol Mg/24.30g x 1 mol MgCl2/1 mol Mg = 0.18 mol MgCl2
