Question
Explain the following reaction with the balanced equation.
Magnesium reacts with dil HCl
Advertisements
Solution
When magnesium is treated with dilute hydrochloric acid, it forms magnesium chloride with release of hydrogen gas.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Magnesium}}{Mg_{(s)}} + \underset{\text{Hydrochloric acid}}{2HCl_{(aq)}} -> \underset{\text{Magnesium chloride}}{MgCl_{2(aq)}} + \underset{\text{Hydrogen}}{H2↑}}\]
