    The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;

    Mg + 2HCl - - - > MgCl₂ + H₂

    stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl₂ is 2:1

    we have been told that Mg is in excess therefore HCl is the limiting reactant

    number of HCl moles reacted - 0.100 mol/L x 0.0256 L = 0.00256 mol

    according to molar ratio, number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00256/2

    Therefore number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00128 mol

    mass of MgCl formed - 0.00128 mol x 95.20 g/mol = 0.122 g
