If you look on the pH scale, water is neutral, so adding magnesium oxide will turn the water from neutral to an alkali.
I hope this helped:)

What happens when magnesium oxide is put in hydrochloric acid?
Let's see! MgO + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2O You get a salt, magnesium chloride, and water.
Why is magnesium oxide insoluble in water?
Magnesium oxide in fact is soluble in water but very little. it means that if you put magnesium in water and fitrate and repeat this a few times you can realize that you don"t have the same amount that you started with. the reason why magnesium oxide is less soluble in water than other metals oxide, is due to the intramolecualr force within the magnesium oxide compound. In fact, magnesium oxide is very small, and the attaction forces are very strong to be broke apart when reacted with water.

What happens when you put magnesium and iron in salt water?
you get heat should raise the temperature of a small amount of water 100 degrees above its starting point
Can the metal Magnesium easily react with water at room temperature?
Magnesium does react with water at room temperature. It does however not catch fire as such. It is a "slow" reaction and does not self-ignite. It forms Magnesium Oxide and Hydrogen when it reacts with water. Larger (not that large) quantities of Magnesium on fire will not be put out by being submerged in water. Water can however put it out if one sprays it with water at high enough force. This will cool down the metal and it will not longer be able to sustain the fire. It will burn in an atmosphere of pure nitrogen unlike almost any other fires. Easiest way to put out a Magnesium fire is to cover it with sand or salt.
What happens when you put magnesium ribbon in hydrochloric acid?

How do you do a hypothesis for calcium oxide and water?
The more Calcium Oxide you put in , the more the temprature rise in the water.
What happens when you boil Mg in water?
It gets really hot, but it cools off after a while. Magnesium doesn't react with water unless you set it on fire before you put it in.

It maintains its original hue. When placed in a base (metal oxide+water), it will turn blue.
