What is the name of the salt formed when a magnesium ribbon is added to dilute hydrochloric acid?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Magnesium chloride

Magnesium reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid according to the equation Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂. The metal forms the positive part of the salt, while the chloride ion from hydrochloric acid forms the negative part; hydrogen gas is released separately. Thus the salt is magnesium chloride, so option C is correct. Sulphate and carbonate would require different acids, and sodium chloride contains sodium rather than magnesium.
