By directly using the mass percentage of H2 in the alloy

By applying the mole ratio from the balanced equation (correct)

In the given reactions, what is the balanced equation for the production of H2 from magnesium?

Mg(s) + HCl(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + 2 H2(g)

Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) (correct)

Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + 2 H2(g)

2 Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → 2 MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Study Notes

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry measures the elements in a chemical reaction, relating the amounts of substances in a reaction
Stoichiometric factor (or mole ratio): Relates the amounts of any two substances involved in a chemical reaction, on a mole basis

Stoichiometric Factor Example

Every 2 moles of H2 consumed, produces 2 moles of H2O
Every 1 mole of O2 consumed, produces 2 moles of H2O
Every 1 mole of O2 consumed, consumes 2 moles of H2

Example: Relating the numbers of moles of reactant & product

Combustion of 2.72 mol of triethylene glycol, C6H14O4, in excess O2 produces 16.3 mol CO2
Balanced chemical equation: 2 C6H14O4 + 15 O2 → 12 CO2 + 14 H2O
The mole ratio of C6H14O4 to CO2 is 2:12
From this ratio, we can calculate the moles of CO2 produced

Example: Relating the mass of a reactant & product

The combustion of 4.16 g of C6H14O4 in excess O2 produces 7.31 g CO2
The calculation involves converting grams of C6H14O4 to moles of C6H14O4, then moles of C6H14O4 to moles of CO2, and finally moles of CO2 to grams of CO2

Example: Relating the masses of two reactants to each other

The combustion of 6.86 g of C6H14O4 in excess O2 consumes 226 g of C

Example: Calculating the quantity of a substance produced by reactions occurring simultaneously

A Mg-Al alloy with 70.0% Al and 30.0% Mg by mass produces 0.0734 g of H2 when reacted with excess HCl
The reaction involves two simultaneous reactions: Al + HCl and Mg + HCl
The total amount of H2 produced is the sum of the amounts produced by each reaction
To calculate the amount of H2, you need to consider the mass of Al and Mg in the alloy, convert them to moles, use the mole ratios from the balanced equations, and finally convert the moles of H2 to grams

Gas Stoichiometry

Volume is a factor in stoichiometry for gases
Ideal gas law: PV = nRT
The volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas at 0°C (273.15 K) and 1 atm is 22.4 L (molar volume)
