First of all write down the BALANCED reaction equation.
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) = MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
We note that the molar ratios are 1:2::1:1
Next calculate the moles of Mg
mol(Mg) = 4.3 / 24.3 (Atomic Mass)
mol(Mg) = 0.17695...
Hence by equivalence with the mole ratios
0.17695... moles of MgCl2 are produced.
NB
1:2::1:1 becomes 0.17695 , 0.353909...:: 0.17695...:0.17695...
695... : 0.

4.3g Mg x 1 mol Mg/24.30g x 1 mol MgCl2/1 mol Mg = 0.18 mol MgCl2

What is the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium?
These two substances readily react to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas, The reaction equation is Mg(s)+ 2HCl(aq) = MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
The correct name for the compound MgCl3 is?
Mg has a +2 charge and Cl has a -1 charge.The correct formula is MgCl2
Where can you buy magnesium chloride in bulk?
Shandong Bailukai Fine Chemical Co.,Ltd is one of the pioneer manufacturer of magnesium chloride. Their magnesium chloride is without sulphate. About 5000 tons is produced per month.
What gas will be produced when hydrochloric acid is reacted with ammonium carbonate?
(NH4)2CO3+2HCl=H2O+CO2+2NH4Cl ammonium carbonate+hydrochloric acid=water+carbondioxide+Ammonium chloride It can also form ammonium chloride and hydocarbonic acid
Why do you get a popping sound when you light the gas produced by hydrochloric acid and magnesium?
We hear a popping sound because of the presence of hydrogen gas and hydrogen gas burns completely when exposed to fire.
What produces hydrogen gas?
Well if you put magnesium with hydrochloric acid, the magnesium reacts with it and creates hydrogen and magnesium chloride. Here is the word equation... Magnesium + Hydrochloric acid --> Magnesium chloride + Hydrogen
What is the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium?
These two substances readily react to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas, The reaction equation is Mg(s)+ 2HCl(aq) = MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Name the salt produced when hydrochloric acid reacts with magnesium?
1 Mole of Magnesium (Mg) would react with 2 Moles of Hydrochloric acid (HCl), to produce 1 Mole of Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) (Salt), and 1 Mole of Hydrogen gas (H2).
Which gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to reactive metal?
Remember the general acid reaction eq'ns. Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt +Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt +Water + Carbon Dioxide. So if you react hydrochloric ACID with a METAL it will produce the gas HYDROGEN.
What is the name of the compound produced with magnesium plus chloride?
Magnesium Chloride - MgCI2
What are the products of the neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid HCl and magnesium hydroxide MgOH2?
Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂+ H₂ When a metal reacts with an acid a salt and hydrogen are produced.
