Word equation for hydrochloric acid and magnesium?

Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2 magnesium+Hydrochloric acid→magnesium chloride+water (H2O)


What are the reactants when acid and metal are mixed?

The reactants are the acid and the metal but the products of this would be a salt and hydrogen.e.g.Hydrochloric + Magnesium > Magnesium + HydrogenAcid ChlorideAcid + Metal > Metal Salt + HydrogenI hope this helps


Mixing magnesium and the product of burning magnesium with hydrochloric acid is it a physical or chemical change?

Mixing magnesium and the product of burning magnesium with hydrochloric acid would lead to a chemical change. The reaction between magnesium oxide (product of burning magnesium) and hydrochloric acid would produce magnesium chloride and water, showing a chemical reaction taking place due to the formation of new substances with different properties.


Would magnesium react more vigorously with hydrochloric acid than vinegar?

Indeed it would. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid which means it disassociates almost 100% in solution ( donates almost all of it's H + ) while acetic acid is a weak organic acid that may not disassociate more than 1% in solution.


What would happen if hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium oxide?

Magnesium Chloride and water would be formed. MgO + 2HCl ------> MgCl2 +H2O


What gas would you make if you mixed hydrochloric acid with magnesium?

When hydrochloric acid is mixed with magnesium, hydrogen gas is produced along with magnesium chloride. This reaction can be represented by the chemical equation: 2HCl + Mg -> MgCl2 + H2.


Can you reverse the chemical change of hydrochloric acid and magnesium?

The reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and magnesium (Mg) forms magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and hydrogen gas (H2), which is a chemical change. To reverse this reaction, you would need to separate the magnesium chloride back into its component elements and then convert the hydrogen gas back to magnesium and hydrochloric acid, which is not practical or feasible.


What gas would you get if you mixed hydrochloric acid and magnesium carbonate?

Carbon Dioxide


What would you see if a piece of magnesium ribbon reacts with dilute hydrocholric acid?

When a piece of magnesium ribbon reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid, you would observe effervescence (bubbling) as hydrogen gas is released. The magnesium ribbon would dissolve in the acid, producing magnesium chloride solution. The solution may also become warm due to the exothermic nature of the reaction.
