Hydrogen gas can be produced in the laboratory by the reaction of magnesium metal with hydrochloric acid.
Mg(s) + 2HCI (aq) ---> MgCI2 (aq) + H2 (g)
a) Identify the limiting reactant when 6.00 g HCI reacts with5.00 g Mg.
b) How many grams of hydrogen can be produced when 6.00 g HCI is added to 5.00 g of Mg?
