Step 1: Define

[RxN - Unbalanced] Mg (s) + HCl (aq) → MgCl (aq) + H₂ (g)

↓

[RxN - Balanced] 2Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → 2MgCl (aq) + H₂ (g)

[Given] 3.25 mol Mg

[Solve] x g HCl

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 2 mol Mg → 2 mol HCl

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of HCl - 1.01 + 35.45 = 36.46 g/mol

Step 3: Stoich

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.

127.61 g HCl ≈ 128 g HCl

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
