Calculate percent yield or determine the limiting reactant: Use the equation:
2 HCl(aq) + Mg(s) → MgCl2(s) + H2(g)
1. Determine the limiting reactant if you have 20g of HCl and 10g of Mg.
2. Determine the percent yield if you produce 5g of MgCl2 from 20g of HCl. (you
must first calculate theoretical yield).
