Expert Answer:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O
15mL of N/5 NaOH
N = (n x 1000)/ V
n = 0.003 moles
1 mole of NaOH neutralises 1 mole of HCl
So 0.003 moles of NaOH will neutralise 0.003 moles of HCl
Total number of moles of HCl
40 mL of N/10
n = 0.004 moles
Total number of moles of HCl which reacted with MgCl2 = 0.004 - 0.003 = 0.001 moles
Mg + 2 HCl → MgCl2 + H2
2 moles of HCl react with 1 mole of MgCl2
0.001 mole of HCl will react with ( 1/2 ) x 0.001 = 0.0005 moles
Mass of Mg ribbon = 0.0005 x 24 = 0.012 g
