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.
"its a salt... so neither"
this answer is incorrect as MGSO4 is an acidic salt
Neither. MgSO4 does not contain either H+ or OH- ions nor is it a conjugate acid or base (it doesn't react "backwards" to absorb either H+ or OH-).
Magnesium is an element and a metal. Neither an acid or base.
It's neither. It is a salt so it's neutral
Magnesium oxide (MgO) is, of course, an oxide.
Neither. It is a salt.
Magnesium sulphate, MgSO4, is an acid
The chemical reaction is: MgCO3 + H2SO4 ------------> MgSO4 +CO2 + H2O
No, it is not.
Magnesium hydroxide + sulphuric acid ----------> magnesium sulphate + water Mg(OH)2 + H2SO4 ------------> MgSO4 + 2H2O
The equation is H2SO4 + Mg(OH)2 --> MgSO4 + 2H2O
Magnesium hydroxide and Sulphuric acid will combine to give Magnesium sulphate and water: Mg(OH)2 + H2SO4 ---> MgSO4 + 2H2O
The chemical reaction is: MgCO3 + H2SO4 ------------> MgSO4 +CO2 + H2O
No, it is not.
I believe it is Sulphuric Acid.
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.
Magnesium hydroxide + sulphuric acid ----------> magnesium sulphate + water Mg(OH)2 + H2SO4 ------------> MgSO4 + 2H2O
H2SO4+ Mg > H2 + MgSO4
Exactly what i want to know to...
The equation is H2SO4 + Mg(OH)2 --> MgSO4 + 2H2O
The reaction is:Mg + H2SO4 = MgSO4 + H2
Magnesium hydroxide and Sulphuric acid will combine to give Magnesium sulphate and water: Mg(OH)2 + H2SO4 ---> MgSO4 + 2H2O
Mg+ H2SO4 ---> MgSO4+ H2. So, in words:Magnesium+Sulphuric Acid---> Magnesium Sulphate+ HydrogenMagnesium Sulphate and Hydrogen is your answer
Epsom salt is a salt. It is a byproduct of neutralization, where an acid and a alkaline is put together and neutralized. The byproduct of this chemical reaction is a salt. Therefore it should normally have a pH of 0, making it neither an acid nor an alkaline
