Answer:
Mg + 2HCl=== Mg(Cl)2 + H2
The Reaction is a single displacement reaction.
Yes!
This reaction obeys the law of conservation which states that for a closed system... Matter and energy transfer is constant.
Meaning that the Mass of products must equal mass of Reactants
To prove this
lets Calculate the Mass of reactants
24g + 73g=97g.
Mass of Products...
95g + x.
let's calculate the mass of Hydrogen produced.
Note: You can get it using any of the reactants... I'll use Magnesium
Now from the balanced reaction.... 1mole of Mg reacts to produce 1mole of Hydrogen
Moles of Mg=Mass/Molar Mass
Given Mass=24g
Molar mass of Mg=24
Mole of Mg =24/24
=1mole
Since Mole ratio of Mg and H2 is 1:1.... Therefore 1Mole of Hydrogen is produced too.
To get Mass of H2
Again
Mole=Mass/Mm
Known= 1mole of H2 isproduced
Mass of H2 =2g
Mole=Mass/Mm
Mass =Mole x Mm
= 1 x 2
=2g
Now
Total Mass of products is
95 +2 = 97g.
This is the same with the Mass of Reactants
So The Law of Conservation of Mass Holds.
