An example of an alkaline earth hydroxide?
Magnesium hydroxide
Is bicarbonate of soda a weak alkali?
Yes. It is a weak base.
What is the name of the alkali used as a drain cleaner?
Sodium Hydroxide.
Is magnesium and alkali metal?
It is not a alkaline metal.It is a alkaline earth metal.
Are Alkali metal hydroxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides strong metals?
Alkali metals are metals in Group I (far left column) such as Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, etc. They have a valence of -1.Alkali Earth Metals are in Group II (second column from the left) such as Berylium, Magnesium, Calcium, etc. and have a valence of -2.One Hydroxide (OH-) ion will form an ionic bond with group 1 elements {Like NaOH }, and two Hydroxide ions will form an ionic bond with group 2 elements {like Ca(OH)2 }
What alkali could be added to a strong acid to neutralise it?
To neutralise a strong acid, you would need a strong alkali (or lots of a weak alkali, but that would be impractical). Potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide would all work.
What are different kinds of alkali?
There are sodium hydroxide, strontium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and more.
What is magnesium hydroxide base-alkali or acid?
Hydroxides are bases.
Would magnesium oxide make an alkali?
Yes. Magnesium oxide will react with water to form magnesium hydroxide.
Is Magnesium hydroxide a weak acid?
No, It is a weak base. Hydroxides are bases.
What is an example of a weak acid sodium hydroxide acetic acid hydrochloric acid or magnesium hydroxide?
Acetic acid is weak acid.
What is the word equation for magnesium hydroxide neutralising hydrochloric acid in your stomach?
Milk of magnesia is magnesium hydroxide or Mg(OH)2 and is a base stomach acid is a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid or HCl, a strong acid. They will react chemically to produce magnesium chloride an water. MgOH + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + 2H2O
Is rubidium hydroxide a strong or weak base?
Rubidium hydroxide is a strong base as are all alkali metal hydroxides.
Will a strong alkali dissolve in water?
All types of strong alkali do not dissolve well in water. Magnesium hydroxide can be given as an example for an insoluble strong alkali.
What Is The Precipitate Of Sodium Hydroxide Magnesium Sulphate?
Magnesium Hydroxide since in the Solubility Rules it states that "All hydroxides are insoluable exceptcompounds of the alkali metals, Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+" and since Magnesium is not in any one of those on the list Hydroxide is insoluable and therefore the precipitate.
Is Milk of magnesia acidic or basic?
magnesium hydroxide in dilute suspension used as an ANTI-ACID. Thus a very mild alkaline substance.
What happens when magnesium hydroxide reacts with sodium?
Nothing. Pardon my frankness but magnesium won't react with sodium hydroxide because sodium hydroxide is a strong alkali. The reactivity series shows that sodium is stronger than magnesium so it won't react. Magnesium will reduce sodium hydroxide to sodium 2Mg + 2NaOH --> 2MgO + 2Na + H2
