Saturated solution of calcium hydroxide is added to a solution of magnesium chloride?

A white precipitate of magnesium hydroxide forms because calcium hydroxide reacts with magnesium chloride to form magnesium hydroxide and calcium chloride. This is a double displacement reaction where ions from the two compounds switch partners.


Which are the four main alkalis?

Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide.


Which of the bases of sodium hydroxide calcium hydroxide potassium hydroxide magnesium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide are alkalies?

Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and calcium hydroxide are alkaline bases. Magnesium hydroxide can also be considered an alkali due to its basic properties. Ammonium hydroxide is a weak base and is not classified as an alkali in the same sense as the others.


What is the difference between soda lime and lime soda?

Soda lime is a mixture of sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide used to absorb carbon dioxide. Lime soda is a solution of lime (calcium hydroxide) and soda (sodium carbonate), often used in water treatment to soften water by precipitating calcium and magnesium ions.


Do all commercial antacids contain magnesium hydroxide?

No, not all commercial antacids contain magnesium hydroxide. Antacids can contain different active ingredients such as calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, or sodium bicarbonate in addition to magnesium hydroxide. It depends on the specific formulation and brand of the antacid.

Is magnesium hydroxide stronger than barium hydroxide?

No, each soluble hydroxide (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, barium etc.) are as strong as all of the SAME kind of hydroxide anions (OH-).Only the solubility differences determine the concentration of OH- ions, but their 'strength' is ALL the SAME.Really hydroxide is the strongest base in water solution.Sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and barium hydroxides are actually (basic) SALTS of the same hydroxide anions! The cations are all neutral in water.
