How many moles of hydrogen will be released when 12 g of magnesium react with a sulfuric acid solution?

The equation for the reaction of magnesium with sulfuric acid:

Mg + H2SO4 = MgSO4 + H2

The amount of Mg substance:

v (Mg) = m (Mg) / M (Mg) = 12/24 = 0.5 (mol).

According to the reaction equation, 1 mol of H2 is released per mole of Mg, therefore the amount of hydrogen is:

v (H2) = v (Mg) = 0.5 (mol).

Answer: 0.5 mol.
