Best Answer

Nitric acid is the acid and magnesium hydroxide is the base. Therefore it is an acid-base reaction and the products are magnesium nitrate and water only.


chemical equation for reaction complete with its states:


2HNO3(aq) +Mg(OH)2(aq) -----> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Nitric acid is a compound of nitrate and hydrogen (you can tell that the suffix is -ate by the suffix -ic. If it were nitrous acid, it would contain nitrite.) Its chemical formula is HN03

Magnesium hydroxide is a base, so when it reacts with an acid, it produces water. It's chemical formula is Mg(OH)2

The unbalanced chemical formula for the reaction is as follows:

HNO3 + Mg(OH)2 -> H2O + Mg(NO3)2

Once balanced...

2HNO3 + Mg(OH)2 -> 2H2O + Mg(NO3)2

So it produces Mg(NO3)2, or magnesium nitrate.

Mg(OH)2 + NHO3 ---> Mg(NO3)2 + H2O the equation isn't balanced.

Which salt is made of magnesium oxide plus nitric acid?

Magnesium oxide is a salt, but nitric acid isn't, and I don't believe that you would get a salt by mixing these two substances. Perhaps you meant to ask what salt is produced by mixing magnesium hydroxide and nitric acid; in that case you would produce the salt magnesium nitrate.
