What happens when you mix sulphuric acid with magnesium metal?

Answer 1

Mg + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + H2↑
Magnesium(s) + Sulfuric Acid(aq) → Magnesium sulfate(aq) + Hydrogen(g)

Many metals will react with acids to produce hydrogen, so they too produce hydrogen with sulfuric acid. The hydrogen will be produced from the protons creacted by the acid, and the remainder will become a salt (in aqueous solution) with the metal. If you boil away the remaining acid and water you would be left with crystals of magnesium sulphate. Without removing the water, the magnesium will still be dissolved, and be ionized: Mg(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Mg+2(aq) + SO4-2(aq) + H2(g)

Answer 2

Dont know for sure, but I didnt thought anything special.

Symbols:

Mg (s) + H2SO4 (aq) -> MgSO4 (aq) + H2 (g).

It will, as many metals in acid, dissolve and compound with the sulphur and form hydrogengas.

Answer 3

Magnesium sulphate and water

as a symbol equation:

MgO + H2SO4 --> MgSO4 + H2O

Answer 4

The products are magnesium sulphate and hydrogen gas.

Answer 5

Mg(s) + H2SO4(aq) ==> MgSO4(aq) + H2(g)
This is a redox reaction. Mg(s) is oxidized, H^+ is reduced.

Answer 6

The chemical reaction is:
Mg + H2SO4 = MgSO4 + H2
