this mix would cause an explosion or let off fumes that aretoxic is this correct
It could stop because there wasn't enough magnesium or hydrochloric acid for the reaction to go to completion.
magnesium chloride + hydrogen
Magnesium Chloride.
Exothermic reaction
Yes, when magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid it is a single replacement reaction. The same is true for nearly all cases of a reaction between an acid and a metal.
the limiting factor varies between the magnesium and hydrochloric acid as there needs to be enough hydrogen for every magnesium..
No, it is a single displacement reaction. It can also be called a redox reaction. It is not an acid base reaction because although hydrochloric acid is obviously and acid, magnesium is a metal, not a base.
it would make magnesium chloride
A Lewis base (magnesium) donates a pair of electrons. Magnesium goes from no charge to a 2+ charge in the reaction with hydrochloric acid.Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H2(gas)
Magnesium reacts with acid to produce hydrogen gas. For example reaction of Magnesium with Hydrochloric acid is..... Mg +2HCl ----> MgCl2 + H2 gas
Chlorine is from hydrochloric acid.
Chlorine is from hydrochloric acid.
