We are given;
We are required to calculate the mass of Magnesium that reacted
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂
1 mole of magnesium reacts with 2 moles of HCl to produce 1 mole of MgCl₂ and 1 mole of hydrogen gas
Mole ratio of Mg : H₂ is 1 : 1
Thus, moles of Mg = Moles of H₂
Moles of Mg is 1.98 × 10^-3 moles
But, molar mass of Mg = 24.305 g/mol
Therefore;
Mass of Mg = 1.98 × 10^-3 moles × 24.305 g/mol
= 0.048 g
The mass of Mg that reacted is 0.048 g
