A small piece of magnesium ribbon is placed in a Petri dish containing 1M hydrochloric acid. For a large audience presentation, this demonstration should be viewed via a camera or document camera. Students observe bubbles of hydroren gas forming.

There are many places in the curriculum where this demonstration could be used. it is most commonly used when discussing the characteristic reactions of either metals or acids. It's also a great example of a single replacement reaction (an oxidation-reduction reaction) when discussing types of reactions. This demonstration may also be performed using a document projector if a dark background is used. Allow about 5 minutes for this test. A computer simulation is available lớn compliment & enhance this demonstration.
Learning Objectives
1. Magnesium metal is an active metal. Magnesium will react with hydrochloric acid.
2. Illustration of a single displacement reaction. Illustration of an oxidation-reduction reaction. Illustration of a reaction that produces a gas.
3. Write a balanced chemical equation & a net ionic equation.
Lead Time
One day of lead time is required for this project.
Discussion
Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid according to lớn the equation: Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) -->MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) This demonstration can be used khổng lồ illustrate the characteristic reaction of metals with acid, a single replacement reaction, or to demonstrate the generation of hydrogen gas. The flammability of hydrogen gas can be demonstrated by carefully holding a match or fireplace lighter up khổng lồ the popping hydrogen bubbles. An audible crackling sound is heard as the hydroren burns.

The net ionic equation for this reaction is:Mg(s) + 2H+(aq) -->Mg2+(aq) +H2(g)

Mechanics of presenting this demonstration
Turn on the camera & focus it. Place the Petri dish on the overhead projector. Pour hydrochloric acid into the Petri dish to lớn a depth of about 5 mm. Using forceps, place the magnesium ribbon into the Petri dish. The magnesium reacts with the acid, producing visible bubbles of hydroren gas.
(Optional) If the flame of a butane fireplace lighter is held above sầu the bursting bubbles, they will produce audible pops as the hydrogene ignites.
Magnesium ribbon is a flammable solid. Hydrochloric acid is a corrosive sầu liquid. Hydroren gas is explosive sầu. However, the very small quantities and low dilutions used in or produced by this kiểm tra present little hazard. Wear safety goggles. Keep flammables & open flame away from the vicinity of the chạy thử.
