I'm reacting H2SO4 conc 1.00 and 25 cm3 with excess magnesium in a conical flask. Is it possible to remove the magnesium and weigh the remaining magnesium? Is it possible to just remove the MGSO4 and then remove the Magnesium solid afterwards?
thanks for any help.
You are along the right lines.
What do you know about MgSO
4 in this particular situation? How would you remove it? Look at the equation for this reaction where there are state symbols ( solid, liquid, gas, aqueous) for all reactants and products.
Why do you think the question states an
excess of Magnesium?
