They react to form H2CO3 and MgCl2
Magnesium!!!
yes
MgCl2 & H2O will form. MgO + 2 HCl ==> MgCl2 + H2O
Magnesium oxide is formed, i think(:
It is a colourless (White) solid.
solid is it?
'Carbonate' is the anion to a solid salt. Common carbonates are are ; Sodium Carbonate, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium carbonate. These salts are solids are room temperature. They are all found in nature as solids. They all react with acids to form another salt, plus, water, plus carbon dioxide. e.g. Hydrochloric acid + Sodium carbonate produces sodium chloride, water and carbon dioxide. 2HCl + Na2CO3 = 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
The products of the reaction between HCl and Mg(HCO3)2 is magnesium chloride, water and carbon dioxide. The balanced reaction is Mg(HCO3)2 + 2 HCl = MgCl2 + 2 H2O + 2 CO2.
Magnesium carbonate, MgCO3, is a white solid that occurs in nature as a mineral. Several hydrated and basic forms of magnesium carbonate also exist as minerals. In addition, MgCO3 has a variety of applications.
For example calcium carbonate react with hydrochloric acid and form a solution.
put the mixture in water and add hydrochloric acid the carbonate becomes decomposed when no further bubbles appear by adding hydrochloric acid then heat the mixture till dryness and get the solid sodium chloride.
Sodium carbonate is added to 'soften' hard water (reacts with calcium and magnesium ions), however this water is NOT drinkable (potable).
