MgCl2 is magnesium chloride , and is a 'chemical salt'.

A chemical salt is a substance that has a metal cation(M^(n+)), and a acidic functional group as the anion(A^(n-)).

Some more chemical salts.

Sodium chloride

Potassium nitrate

Calcium sulphate

Strontium nitrate.

Rubidium phosphate

Sodium ethanoate ( acetate).

NB There are many more chemical salts.

Is MgCl an acid base or salt?

MgCl2 is a salt composed of magnesium and chloride ions. It is not an acid or a base.


Is mgCI2 a base?

No. MgCl2 is a salt of a strong acid and a strong base, therefore it is neutral.


Is magnesium fluoride an acid base or salt?

Neither, MgCl2 is to be considered a neutral salt.


What happens when magnesium oxide is put in hydrochloric acid?

When magnesium oxide is put in hydrochloric acid, it will react to form magnesium chloride and water. The chemical reaction can be represented as: MgO + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2O. This reaction is a classic example of an acid-base reaction where the base (MgO) reacts with the acid (HCl) to form a salt (MgCl2) and water.


What is the element produced when magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid?

Reaction: Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) ----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g) The products formed are Hydrogen gas H2(g), resulting in fizzing as the gas forms bubbles and is released, and Magnesium Chloride MgCl2(aq) compound. The compound (salt) produced is MgCl2 and the element produced is Hydrogen.

What is formed when an acid and a base is mixed?

when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.


What is the general equation for a acid-base reaction?

Here are the four general acid reactions. Acid + Base = Salr + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soliuble base.


What is the General equation for acid reacting with a base?

acid + base → salt + water


Can an acid and a base react to form an acid?

NO!!!! Remember the general acid reaction equations. Acid + Base = Salt +Water Acid +Alkali = Salt + Water Acid +Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.


What is the general form for the simplest type of acid base reaction?

Acid + base salt + water


When an acid reacts with a base a salt is produced along with another product. What are the products?

Remember the general reaction equation Acid + Base = Salt + Water So the answer t your question is 'water'. NB Remember too other general acid reactions.; Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. Given below are a few examples, using hydrochloric acid. 2HCl + MgO = MgCl2 + H2O HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O 2HCl + Zn = ZnCl2 + H2 2HCl + CaCO3 = CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
