Step 1: Define
[RxN - Unbalanced] Mg (s) + HCl (aq) → MgCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)
[RxN - Balanced] Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → MgCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)
[Given] 2.28 mol Mg (s)
Step 2: Identify Conversions
[RxN] 1 mol Mg = 2 mol HCl
Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol
Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol
Molar Mass of HCl - 1.01 + 35.45 = 36.46 g/mol
Step 3: Stoichiometry
Step 4: Check
Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.
166.258 g HCl ≈ 166 g HCl
