Question
  • An experiment is performed to determine the volume of gas produced by the following reaction:

2HCl(aq) + Mg­(s)                  MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

E. Would the HCl(aq) be considered a strong, weak, or non-electrolyte?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Reaction given:

2HCl(aq) + Mg­(s) ---->  MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

in the above balanced chemical equation HCl is completed dissociated to form MgCl2 and H2

if any species which completely dissociate to give the products with 100% yield.

Then the species called as a strong electrolyte.
