Answer:
72g
Explanation:
The balanced equation of the reaction between Magnesium (Mg) and hydrochloric acid (HCl):
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) → MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Based on this equation, 1 mole of Mg needs to react with 2 moles of HCl.
Hence, 6 moles of HCl will need to react with 6 × ½ = 3 moles of Mg.
Using the formula; mole = mass/molar mass
Molar mass of Mg = 24g/mol
3 = mass/24
mass = 72g.
