if some of the Mg ribbon had not reacted because it stuck to the side of the tube and did not contact the acid, how would this have affected your value for R?

Respuesta :

Answer:

If some of the Mg ribbon had not reacted because of sucking to the side of the tube then it will change the volume of the acid used and also decrease the concentration.

Explanation:

let me to explain.

10 grams of Mg ribbon is taken for the experiment then definitely a fixed amount of acid is used to react with Mg ribbon.

let us suppose 10 ml of acid reacts with Mg ribbon in normal case when all Mg ribbon reacts with acid.

Now take a condition given in the question that that if some Mg ribbon not react with acid,

let suppose 8 grams  of Mg ribbon reacts with 8 ml of acid then the concentration of solution is different that is less than the normal one.
