Explications :
1) Pour 50 cm3 dilute hydrochloric acid into a test tube.
2) Add a small amount of magnesium ribbon to the
acid.
Fizzing is seen and the magnesium disappears.
3) Continue adding acid and stir with a spatula until
some magnesium remains.
4) There is now a residue of
magnesium.
5) Pour off the magnesium chloride solution
into an evaporating basin.
6) Heat the evaporating basin
until all the water has evaporated. 7)
Leave until crystals
form.
