Magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2, is a BASE. This is easily noted by the presence of the hydroxide ions.
HCl and MgOH
No. MgO is a base. How is it a base you say? Look at the following chemical equation: MgO + H20 ----> MgOH + OH- And then, MgOH -----> Mg+ + OH- So I guess you get two for one. I'm only a chemistry student, so you might want to look somewhere else too for an answer.
NaOH,MgOH,etc
MgOH is certainly not an acid, as it does not contain the H+ ion which characterisies an acid. It is more of base, characterised by the hydroxyl ion (OH-). However it is not a very strong base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
The pH of water will increase when MgOH is dissolved in it because MgOH is a base that will dissociate in water to release hydroxide ions, which will react with water to form more hydroxide ions and increase the concentration of hydroxide ions in the solution, leading to an increase in pH.
The reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) forms magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and water (H2O). This is a neutralization reaction where the acid and base react to form a salt and water.

Magnesium hydroxide
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
The reaction between magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid forms magnesium chloride and water.
Acetamide is a weak base. It can undergo protonation to form the conjugate acid, acetic acid, in acidic solutions.
A Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction involves the transfer of a proton (H+) from the acid to the base. The acid donates a proton, while the base accepts a proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base.
