Mg2+ is (theoretically speaking) a Lewis acid, but I don't know how strong.
Mg2+ ions do not act as either acids or bases. They are typically found in ionic compounds and do not donate or accept protons, which are characteristics of acids and bases, respectively.
Parent Acid: HCO3 Acid Strength: Weak Parent Base: Unknown
There are 1.20 equivalents in 0.60 mole of Mg2+, since Mg2+ has a charge of 2+.
An Mg2+ ion has lost two electrons, resulting in a total of 10 electrons. Magnesium normally has 12 electrons but when it forms a 2+ ion, it loses two electrons.
