Although it appears counter-intuitive to everything you've learned in general chemistry, MgBr2 can be considered a lewis acid. It can react with hydroxide to form a complex with the formula: (HOMgBr2)^-, with the negative charge on the Mg atom.

Is mgso4 a strong acid?

No, MgSO4 (magnesium sulfate) is not a strong acid. It is actually a salt that is formed from the reaction of magnesium hydroxide (a weak base) and sulfuric acid (a strong acid). When dissolved in water, it dissociates into its component ions but does not significantly contribute hydrogen ions to the solution to classify as a strong acid.


What acid reacts with MgCO3 to produce MgSO4?

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) to produce magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), water, and carbon dioxide. The chemical equation for this reaction is: H2SO4 + MgCO3 -> MgSO4 + H2O + CO2


Sulphuric acid magnesium carbonate?

When sulfuric acid reacts with magnesium carbonate, it forms magnesium sulfate, carbon dioxide, and water. This is a double displacement reaction where the ions switch partners. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: H2SO4 + MgCO3 -> MgSO4 + CO2 + H2O.


How do you separate salt from epsom salt?

Epsom salt, in fact, does not contain any table salt. A "salt", technically, is a strong base bonded with a strong acid. Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate, or MgSO4. Magnesium is a base and Sulfate is an acid.

What is the Balanced equation for magnesium chloride plus sulfuric acid?

The balanced equation for magnesium chloride (MgCl2) plus sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is: MgCl2 + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + 2HCl.


What is the balanced equation of sulphurous acid?

The reaction is:Mg + H2SO4 = MgSO4 + H2


Magnesium plus sulphuric acid?

Mg+ H2SO4 ---> MgSO4+ H2. So, in words:Magnesium+Sulphuric Acid---> Magnesium Sulphate+ HydrogenMagnesium Sulphate and Hydrogen is your answer


What is the balanced equation for the reaction of magnesium and sulfuric acid?
