How much hydrogen is formed by the interaction of 2.4 g of magnesium with sulfuric acid.

The interaction of magnesium with acetic acid occurs in accordance with the following chemical reaction equation:

Mg + H2SO4 = Mg SO4 + H2;

When 1 metal is dissolved, 1 mol of hydrogen gas is released.

Let’s find the amount of substance that is in 2.4 grams of metal.

M Mg = 24 grams / mol;

N Mg = 2.4 / 24 = 0.1 mol;

This amount of hydrogen gas will be generated.

Let’s calculate its volume.

One mole of gas fills a volume of 22.4 liters under normal conditions.

The volume of hydrogen will be:

V H2 = 0.1 x 22.4 = 2.24 liters;
