I'm totally lost... any help out there?

Balloons attached to the top of flasks...In Flask A, you reacted 1.65 g Mg with 0.136 mol HCl. In Flask B, you reacted 2.21 g Mg with 0.098 mol HCl. Which ballon will inflate the most? Explain (in detail) why.

You have to some how see how much hydrogen is released in the reaction between:

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

The one with more H2 will inflate the balloon more.
