Question

What is the product when magnesium reacts with sulfuric acid? mg(s) h2so4(aq) →what is the product when magnesium reacts with sulfuric acid?mg(s) h2so4(aq) →

Answer 1

The product is magnesium sulfate plus hydrogen gas,as per this equation:

Mg + H2SO4 = MgSO4 + H2(g)

Answer 2

Explanation:

When magnesium reacts with sulfuric acid then it results in the formation of magnesium sulfate along with evolution of hydrogen gas.

The chemical reaction equation for the reaction is as follows.

$Mg(s) + H_{2}SO_{4} \rightarrow MgSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}(g)$

This reaction is a single displacement reaction as magnesium has displaced hydrogen from sulfuric acid.
