How many moles of hydrogen gas are produced, given the mass of Mg and the balanced chemical equation?

The mass of magnesium is 0.0479 g

The balanced chemical equation is:

2Mg (s) + 2HCl -> H2 (g) + 2MgCl (aq)

Supposing excess HCl:

(0.0479 g Mg) / (24.30506 g Mg/mol) x (1 mol H2 / 2 mol Mg) = 0.000985 mol H2
