That is a sample question. If someone could answer it and guide me through it I'd be very thankful....

A 1.1 g sample of magnesium is treated with 9.5 g of sulfuric acid.

Mg(s) + H2SO4(aq) MgSO4(aq) + H2(g)

(a) How many grams of hydrogen can be produced?

(b) If 0.060 g of hydrogen is actually obtained, what is the percent yield?

(c) Calculate the number of moles of excess reagent remaining at the end of the reaction.

a) work out the molecular weight for the compounds in question.
Then work out the number of moles in 1.1 g of Mg and 9.5 gg
H2SO4 then work out the limiting limit is the number of moles >
or < than the number of moles of Mg. Take the one with the
lowest limit and this is how many number of moles of H2 that
should be produced as is a ratio of (1:1). Then take the number
of moles and times the molecular weight of H2.

b) From a) Yield = (0.06 g / of theoric the weight of H2 produced)
x 100%

c) Number of moles of H2 made = 0.06 g /the molecular weight of
H2.

from a) Number of moles of Mg left = staring number of moles
of Mg - the number of moles of H2 produced.

from a) Number of moles of H2SO4 left = staring number of
moles of H2SO4 - the number of moles of H2 produced.

The reaction is already balanced, so just look at the molar quantities.

I don't have my periodic table handy, but this is the method.

1.1 gr of Mg / molecular mass of Mg = moles of Mg.

each mole of Mg gives the same # moles of H2 gas. Multiply by 2 grams per mole to get grams of H2. Divide 0.060 actual grams of H2 by the stoich.number created above to get the percent yield.
