3. Hydrochloric acid produces salts called chlorides. Magnesium carbonate reacts

with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride.

A student used 50.00cm3 of 2.00mol/dm3 hydrochloric acid in an experiment to

produce magnesium chloride. Calculate the mass, in g, of magnesium carbonate
needed to react exactly with 50.00cm3 of 2.00mol/dm3 hydrochloric acid using the
following steps.
