What happens when magnesium and hydrochloric acid is mixed together?

Answer 1

what happens is a violent reaction between them both gas bubbles up,if you hold this gas tight with your thumb over the test tube you will feel some suction, when this gas has collected enough add a lit splint to it and you get a loud squeeky pop.
there is different reactions with different kinds of acids but the most common reaction that will occur would be that it changes into hydrogen.

Answer 2

Mg dissolves in HClIf you add Mg metal (Mg) to hydrochloric acid (HCl), the Mg will dissolve and will form bubbles of hydrogen gas (H2). As a result of the reaction, water vapour will also be released, and when measuring the volume of H2(g), you need to take into account that water vapour is mixed with the H2(g). When the Mg dissolves, it forms magnesium ions with a +2 charge (Mg2+) , and when the hydrogen atoms form H2 gas, they leave behind chloride ions, Cl-. Then, the Mg2+ ions will bond with the Cl- ions. Here is the single replacement reaction equation:

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

A very similar reaction will happen if you add Mg to any strongly acidic solution, such as sulphuric acid. Here the reaction is:

Mg(s) + H2SO4(aq) → MgSO4(aq) + H2(g)

So, principally all reactions of metal Mg with strong acid (H+) come to the same equation: Mg(s) + 2H+(aq) → Mg2+(aq) + H2(g)

Answer 3

When Magnesium and Hydrochloric acid are together they create a chemical reaction that lets of bubbles filled hydrogen. If you were to put another test tube over the one you have used to mix hydrochloric acid and magnesium you could catch the hydrogen and then light it - this will then cause another chemical reaction, which if done using large amounts could cause an explosion(it will create a loud popping sound and a small burst if you use about one-third of a test tube of hydrochloric acid and two pieces of magnesium ribbon.

Answer 5

If you react Magnesium (Mg) with hydrochloric acid (HCL) you get magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and hydrogen (2H).

Magnesium+hydrochloric acid=magnesium chloride+hydrogen.

Mg+HCL=MgCl2+2H

Answer 6

reacts vigorously :) magnesium is very unstable and very high reaction rate.

Answer 7

look it up in a text book next time but this one is carbon dioxide!

- Are you sure because I thought an acid + a metal hydroxide produced a salt and water.
