If you were to measure the mass of magnesium and hydrochloric acid before combining them in the test tube, how would that mass compare to the mass of reactants left in the test tube after the reaction? Explain your answer and how it corresponds to the law of conservation of mass.

    The balanced chemical reaction for the system given is as follows:

    2Mg + 2HCl = 2MgCl + H2

    The mole ratio of the reactants is one is to one which means with a given amount of magnesium requires the same amount of hydrochloric acid to have a complete reaction. If supplied exactly, then after the reaction, all of the reactants are consumed and formed into the products.
