Will magnesium nitrate and dilute hydrochloric acid react?

Yes, magnesium nitrate and dilute hydrochloric acid will react to form magnesium chloride, nitric acid, and water. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: Mg(NO3)2 + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + 2HNO3.


Why hydrogen is liberated when magnesium react with dilute nitric acid unlike other metals where hydrogen is not evolved?

Magnesium reacts with dilute nitric acid to form magnesium nitrate and liberate hydrogen gas because magnesium is a highly reactive metal and is able to displace hydrogen from nitric acid. Other less reactive metals do not typically react with dilute nitric acid to produce hydrogen gas.


What is the name of salt formed when magnesium reacts with nitric acid?

The salt formed when magnesium reacts with nitric acid is magnesium nitrate.


What is the word equation for magnesium carbonate reacting with nitric acid?

The word equation for the reaction between magnesium carbonate and nitric acid is: magnesium carbonate + nitric acid -> magnesium nitrate + carbon dioxide + water.


Which 2 metals can displace hydrogen from dilute nitric acid?

magnesium and manganese Mg(s) + 2 HNO3(aq) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + H2(g)

What will hppen if you put a piece of magnesium into dilute nitric acid?

Im not sure about very dilute acid and strong magnesium but; magnesium and dilute nitric acid formed alot of gas, the color changed to a browney orange and the temperature increased significantly. I was told (by my science teacher) that when writing the chemical equation you didnt have to include water so; magnesium + nitric acid-------> magnesium nitrate + hydrogen Hope this helps. :)


What acid is needed to produce ammonium nitrate?

Nitric acid is required to produce ammonium nitrate. Ammonium nitrate is formed by reacting nitric acid with ammonia.


Which salt is made of magnesium oxide plus nitric acid?

Magnesium oxide is a salt, but nitric acid isn't, and I don't believe that you would get a salt by mixing these two substances. Perhaps you meant to ask what salt is produced by mixing magnesium hydroxide and nitric acid; in that case you would produce the salt magnesium nitrate.


Why is nitric acid in the dilute form not used in the laboratory preparation of hydrogen from metals?

It is because nitric acid is a strong oxidising agent (because it decomposes to yield nascent oxygen as:2HNO3 →2NO2 + H2O + [O])and it oxidises the hydrogen formed to water.Only 1% dilute and cold nitric acid reacts with magnesium and manganese to liberate Hydrogen gas.


Why Al is neither attacked by dilute sulphuric acid nor dilute nitric acid?

A protective layer is formed at the surface of aluminium; the phenomenon is called passivation.
