0.135 mole of H2.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 3.24 g of Mg. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of Mg = 3.24 g

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mol

Mole of Mg =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of Mg = 3.24/24

Mole of Mg = 0.135 mole

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Mg reacted to produce 1 mole of H2.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of H2 produced by reacting 3.24 g (i.e 0.135 mole) of Mg. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Mg reacted to produce 1 mole of H2.

Therefore, 0.135 mole of Mg will also react to produce 0.135 mole of H2.

Thus, 0.135 mole of H2 can be obtained from the reaction.

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
