As the magnesium reacts, the hydrogen gas produced is collected by water displacement at 23.0oC. The pressure of the gas in the collection tube is measured to be 749 torr. Given that the equilibrium vapor pressure of water is 21 torr at 23.0oC, calculate the pressure that the H2(g) produced in the reaction would have if it were dry.

hope this

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)
