The characteristic properties of acids and bases — practice question

What is the balanced equation for magnesium reacting with dilute sulfuric acid?

  • A$\text{Mg} + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{MgSO}_4 + \text{H}_2$
  • B$\text{Mg} + 2\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Mg(}\text{SO}_4\text{)}_2 + 2\text{H}_2$
  • C$2\text{Mg} + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Mg}_2\text{SO}_4 + \text{H}_2$
  • D$2\text{Mg} + 3\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Mg}_2(\text{SO}_4\text{)}_3 + 3\text{H}_2$
