<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Explain the reaction between magnesium and sulphuric acid.

Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Magnesium reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to form magnesium sulphate and hydrogen gas. This is a single displacement reaction and also exothermic.

$\text{Mg}$ + ${\text{H}}_2$${\text{SO}}_4$ → $\text{Mg}$${\text{SO}}_4$ + ${\text{H}}_2$
