Mass of magnesium required to produce 220 mL of hydrogen gas at STP on reaction with excess of dil. HCl is
Given : Molar mass of Mg is .
  1. (A)235.7 g
  2. (B)0.24 mg
  3. (C)236 mg✓ Correct
  4. (D)2.444 g

Answer: (C)

Solution

The reaction is . At STP, 22.4 L (22400 mL) of any gas contains 1 mole. Moles of produced = mol. From stoichiometry, moles of Mg required = moles of = 0.00982 mol. Mass of Mg = g = 235.7 mg ≈ 236 mg.
