How many grams of hydrogen gas will be liberated when 6g of magnesium ribbon dissolves in 500cm3 of 6M HCl?
(Mg=24, H=1, Cl=35.5)
- 1.2 g
- 0.7 g
-
0.5 g
- 0.3 g
- 0.12 g
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H26 molar contains 6 Χ 36.5 gms 1000 cc
Solution i.e 6 Χ 36.5/2gms in 500 cc
= 3 Χ 36.5
24 gms of mg will react with 2 Χ 36.5 HCl to liberate 2 gm of hydrogen
∴ 6 gms will liberate 6 Χ 2/24 Χ 1 = 0.5 gm of H2
