Magnesium ribbon reacts with acid to produce hydrogen gas and magnesium ions. Different masses of magnesium ribbon are added to 10 mL of the acid. The volume of the hydrogen gas obtained is a measure of the number of moles of hydrogen produced by the reaction. Various measurements are given in the table below.

(a) Draw a graph of the results by plotting the mass of Mg versus the volume of the hydrogen gas.

(b) What is the limiting reactant in experiment 1?

(c) What is the limiting reactant in experiment 3?

(d) What is the limiting reactant in experiment 6?

(e) Which experiment uses stoichiometric amounts of each reactant?

(f) What volume of gas would be obtained if 0.300 g of Mg ribbon were used? If 0.010 g were used?
