what might happen in the experiment if you use a lot more magnesium and acid, so that more than 100 cm3 of hydrogen gas was formed. what could be done to reduce the risk of an accident if more than 100 cm3 of hydrogen is produced.

Extra gas produced might be toxic and may replicate conditions of a gas leak if not properly detected and controlled at the earliest.
- In the experiment, where we react magnesium and an acid the reaction is exothermic and is measured by the amount of gas produced.
- Thus, we need to be very careful with such experiments while dealing with potentially toxic gases as they may cause irritation, dry cough and nausea.
- It is always advised to wear proper safety goggles and a mask to protect your eyes and your mouth from harmful vapours and chemicals while performing experiments.
- Further, please wear gloves and a lab coat to protect your torso from burns.
- Spill resistant shoes must also be worn to prevent burns due to accidental spill of chemicals.
