What is the theoretical yield (in mL) at STP of hydrogen gas produced when the 0.040 g of Mg reacted completely?

Correct answer: C. 37 mL

  • A. 10 mL
  • B. 25 mL
  • C. 37 mL
  • D. 46 mL
  • E. 51 mL

Explanation

The theoretical yield at STP can be found from the chemical equation of the reaction: 0.040 g Mg = x L Mg + 2HCL → MgCl2 + H2 (g) 24.0 g/mol = 22.4 L Solving for x L = 0.037 L or 37 ml
