How do you write a chemical word equation for the reaction of diluted hydrochloric acid added to solid magnesium hydroxide producing water and the soluble salt magnesium chloride?

"Chemical word equation" is apparently some kind of "New Chemistry" analogous to the "New Math" of the 1960s and 1970s.
Frankly, I'd say you just wrote one when you were typing out the question.
If you want the real equation a sensible chemist would use, it's
2 HCl + Mg(OH)2(s) -> 2 H2O + MgCl2(aq)

What is the balanced equation of sodium phosphate and magnesium hydroxide?
I found this at WikiPedia. It's pretty close. Magnesium Hydroxide is Milk of Magnesia. They show Magnesium Hydroxide from a magnesium salt: ----- The chemical formula of sodium hydroxide is NaOH. The chemical formula of magnesium hydroxide is Mg(OH)2.
Why is magnesium hydroxide a better antacid than sodium hydroxide?
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base (fully dissolves in water) and is highly caustic. If it touches the skin it can cause severe chemical burns. Swallowing it can result in severe damage, often permanent, to the digestive tract and death. Magnesium hydroxide is a weak base (minimally dissolves in water). It cannot cause the damage that sodium hydroxide does.
What is the chemical formula of milk of magnasia?
The active ingredients in Milk of Magnesia is Magnesium hydroxide. Milk of Magnesia is a liquid laxative and antacid that looks like milk.
What is Mg(OH)2 chemical name?
not sure exactly, but it has magnesium, oxygen and iodine
Is H2O plus Mg a mixture?
These are actually the reactants in a chemical reaction. Magnesium reacts slowly with water to produce hydrogen gas and magnesium hydroxide. Mg + 2H2O --> Mg(OH)2 + H2
What is the chemical formula of milk of magnesia?
Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2, is the chemical name and chemical formula of milk of magnesia.
What is the chemical equation or magnesium and hydrochloric acid?
magnesium + hydrochloric acid = magnesium chloride + water
What is the balanced chemical equation for magnesium hydroxide is reacted with hydrochloric acid to form a pure sample of magnesium chloride?
Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl >> MgCl2 + 2H2O
Does magnesium hydroxide dissolve in water?
Magnesium oxide does not "dissolve" in hydrochloric acid. Dissolution is a physical change. When magnesium oxide is mixed with hydrochloric acid, a chemical reaction takes place: Mg(s) + 2HCl ---> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Hydrochloric acid magnesium carbonate?
Magnesium Carbonate + Hydrochloric Acid ------> Magnesium Chloride + Water + Carbon Dioxide The previous answer said magnesium hydroxide + carbon dioxide, but then you will have canceled out the chlorine, which due to the law of conservation of mass, is impossible.
What is the chemical formula for magnesium and water?
Magnesium Hydroxide and Hydrogen
What is the chemical formula for magnisium hydroxide?
The Chemical Formula for Magnesium Hydroxide is Mg(OH)2.
What is the chemical formula for aqueous magnesium hydroxide?
The chemical formula of magnesium hydroxide is Mg(OH)2; this compound is extremely low soluble in water.
Chemical reaction of magnesium hydroxide when heated?
Mg(OH)2 ------> MgO + H2O
Mixing magnesium and the product of burning magnesium with hydrochloric acid is it a physical or chemical change?
Is it a chemical change.
Can you reverse the chemical change of hydrochloric acid and magnesium?
no
What is the word equation for magnesium hydroxide neutralising hydrochloric acid in your stomach?
Milk of magnesia is magnesium hydroxide or Mg(OH)2 and is a base stomach acid is a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid or HCl, a strong acid. They will react chemically to produce magnesium chloride an water. MgOH + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + 2H2O
