◀When acid X reacts with Mg , a colorless gas Y is formed . What is the Gas Y and the Acid X if the other product of the reaction is magnesium sulphate , what is the chemical equation of the reaction?

⏪An Acid reacts with a Metal to form a corresponding metal salt and hydrogen gas is evolved along side . Here the metal is Magnesium [ Mg ] .

X [ Acid ]. +. Mg ------------------ MgSO4 + Y


↪Here X is Sulfuric Acid [ H2SO4 ]

↪Y is Hydrogen Gas [ H2 ]

So the equation is ,


H2SO4 + Mg -------------------- MgSO4 + H2⬆
