Question 1
H

A student added 0.048 g of magnesium ribbon to an excess of dilute hydrochloric acid and collected the hydrogen produced in a gas syringe.

Mg+2HCl→MgCl2+H2\text{Mg} + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{MgCl}_2 + \text{H}_2Mg+2HCl→MgCl2​+H2​

The relative atomic mass of magnesium is 24. The volume of one mole of any gas at room temperature and pressure (rtp) is 24 dm3.
