Although it appears counter-intuitive to everything you've learned in general chemistry, MgBr2 can be considered a lewis acid. It can react with hydroxide to form a complex with the formula: (HOMgBr2)^-, with the negative charge on the Mg atom.

Magnesium sulfate, or MgSO4, is a salt that does not exhibit acidic or basic properties. It is formed from the reaction of magnesium hydroxide, a base, with sulfuric acid, an acid. In solution, magnesium sulfate dissociates into magnesium ions and sulfate ions.

∙ 12y ago"its a salt... so neither"
this answer is incorrect as MGSO4 is an acidic salt
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNeither. MgSO4 does not contain either H+ or OH- ions nor is it a conjugate acid or base (it doesn't react "backwards" to absorb either H+ or OH-).

Is mgso4 a strong acid?
No, it is not.
Sulphuric acid magnesium carbonate?
When sulfuric acid reacts with magnesium carbonate, it forms magnesium sulfate, carbon dioxide, and water. This is a double displacement reaction where the ions switch partners. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: H2SO4 + MgCO3 -> MgSO4 + CO2 + H2O.
What is the equation for sulfuric acid and magnesium sulfide?
Magnesium hydroxide + sulphuric acid ----------> magnesium sulphate + water Mg(OH)2 + H2SO4 ------------> MgSO4 + 2H2O
What is the equation for sulfuric acid and magnesium?
The reaction between sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and magnesium (Mg) produces magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and hydrogen gas (H2). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: H2SO4 + Mg -> MgSO4 + H2.
What is the Balanced equation for magnesium chloride plus sulfuric acid?
The balanced equation for magnesium chloride (MgCl2) plus sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is: MgCl2 + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + 2HCl.
Is mgso4 a strong acid?
No, it is not.
What acid reacts with MgCO3 to produce MgSO4?
I believe it is Sulphuric Acid.
Sulphuric acid magnesium carbonate?
When sulfuric acid reacts with magnesium carbonate, it forms magnesium sulfate, carbon dioxide, and water. This is a double displacement reaction where the ions switch partners. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: H2SO4 + MgCO3 -> MgSO4 + CO2 + H2O.
How do you separate salt from epsom salt?
Epsom salt, in fact, does not contain any table salt. A "salt", technically, is a strong base bonded with a strong acid. Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate, or MgSO4. Magnesium is a base and Sulfate is an acid.
What is the equation for sulfuric acid and magnesium sulfide?
Magnesium hydroxide + sulphuric acid ----------> magnesium sulphate + water Mg(OH)2 + H2SO4 ------------> MgSO4 + 2H2O
What is the equation for sulfuric acid and magnesium?
The reaction between sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and magnesium (Mg) produces magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and hydrogen gas (H2). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: H2SO4 + Mg -> MgSO4 + H2.
What gas will you get when you mixsulphuric acid and magnesuim?
H2SO4+ Mg > H2 + MgSO4
Which produces acid when it reacts with mgso4 and mgc03?
Exactly what i want to know to...
What is the balanced equation of sulphurous acid?
The reaction is:Mg + H2SO4 = MgSO4 + H2
Magnesium plus sulphuric acid?
Mg+ H2SO4 ---> MgSO4+ H2. So, in words:Magnesium+Sulphuric Acid---> Magnesium Sulphate+ HydrogenMagnesium Sulphate and Hydrogen is your answer
What product does the reaction between magnesium hydroxide and sulfuric acid yield?
Magnesium hydroxide and Sulphuric acid will combine to give Magnesium sulphate and water: Mg(OH)2 + H2SO4 ---> MgSO4 + 2H2O
What is the balanced equation for the reaction of magnesium and sulfuric acid?
The balanced equation for the reaction of magnesium and sulfuric acid is: Mg + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + H2
