They will be to 3 significant figures.
1. Balance
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq)−→MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Mole ratio Mg to HCl is 1:2,
4.63 x 2 = 9.26 moles HCl
9.26 mol x 36.5g/1 mol HCl = 338g HCl
2. Mole ratio Mg to MgCl2 is 1:1
4.63 moles Mg = 4.63 moles MgCl2
4.63 mol MgCl2 x 95.2g/mol = 441g MgCl2
3. Mg to H2 mole ratio 1:1
4.63 mol H2 x 2.015g/mol = 9.33g H2
