1. (1.2 pt ) In this study, the magnesium ribbon was dissolved in hydrochloric acid, a monoprotic acid, to produce H2 gas. If phosphoric acid, a triprotic acid, were used to react with the magnesium rather than hydrochloric acid, does that affect the amount of H2 gas produced? Write balanced equations for the reaction of Mg with 1) HCl and 2) phosphoric acid to help explain your answer.
