a sample of magnesium metal reacts completely with an excess of hydrochloric acid: MG(s) + 2 HCl (aq) = MgCl2(aq) + H2(g). The hydrogen gas produced is collected over water at 28.0 C. the volume of the gas is 46 L and the total pressure in the gas collection vessel is 1.01 atm. calculate the mass of magnesium metal that reacted in grams (vapor pressure of water at 28.0 C = 28.2 mmHg)
