Suggest why magnesium chloride can be made by mixing magnesium with hydrochloric acid but copper chloride cannot be made by mixing copper with hydrochloric acid?
Becca26
Copper is an inert metal and below hydrogen in electro chemical series therefore can not displaced hydrogen from acids so copper can not be converted directly to salts by reacting with acids, however concentrated sulphuric acid reacts with copper on heating in presence of atmospheric oxygen forming the copper sulphate, chlorides and other salts are prepared from its sulphate salt.

Why does molten sodium chloride conduct electricity but crystalline magnesium chloride does not?
In the molten state the ions of sodium chloride are free to move. Magnesium chloride would also conduct if it were molten. Since the ions of the magnesium chloride are bound together in the crystal lattice they cannot carry a current.
Why does magnesium ribbon not react with sodium sulphate solution?
as a displacement reaction has to occur when the metal is higher in the reactivity series thatn the metal in the salt. With your question this is not the case as sodium is higher than magnesium and so nothing will take effect.
What is the chemical equation for hydrochloric acid plus copper oxide?
No reaction will be observed. Copper is too unreactive and cannot displace hydrogen from hydrochloric acid. Only reactive metals (above hydrogen in the reactivity series) will react with dilute acids.
Is hydrochloric acid non electrolyte?
No. An electrolyte is something with free ions in it. It behaves as a conductor. Hydrochloric acid in any amount of water will ionize and create an electrolyte. The only variable is how much water is present. Hydrochloric acid is usually provided in different strengths (with different amounts of water - in different molar concentrations).
Can we mix hydroxy ethyl oleylamine and hydrochloric acid directly?
We cannot mix hydroxy ethyl oleylamine and hydrochloric acid directly.

Does magnesium react with iron chloride?
yes! it does because magnesium is higher in reactivity series than iron , so the magnesium atom would displace or push out the iron atom from the compound and join with chloride, leaving the pure iron out of the compound Mg + FeCl2 -- MgCl2 + Fe
When sodium chloride and hydrochloric acid react then why sodium hydroxide do not formed?
The reaction is: NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O HCl and NaCl cannot react, the anion is the same.
Is chlorine and magnesium covalent?
Magnesium Chloride cannot be formed by covalent bonding because there is a metal element. Covalent bonding occurs only when two or more non-metals bond; thus Hydrogen Fluoride would be formed by covalent bonding.
What are the products of a reaction between phenol and magnesium chloride?
Phenol is so weakly acidic that it cannot react with metals low in the electrochemical series. Also, phenol reacts only with Sodium metal and no other. Hence, it does not react with Magnesium at room temperature.
How do you produce sodium chloride from sodium hydroxide?
You neutralize it with hydrochloric acid to make water and sodium chloride. But, of course, the salt made by this reaction cannot be consumed, as trace amounts of both the acid and base is still in the solution and ingesting them along with the salt has nasty consequences.
Do iron and magnesium oxide react chemically?
No. Iron cannot displace Magnesium from Magnesium oxide

Is magnesium a natural resource?
Yes magnesium is a resource but it cannot be classified as energy resource.Magnesium is a metal.
