Magnesium oxide react with water and magnesium hydroxide is formed.

Calcium oxide + water
Let's see! MgO + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2O You get a salt, magnesium chloride, and water.
Ferric oxide (Fe2O3) is not soluble in water.
When heated to a sufficiently high temperature, solid magnesium hydroxide will decompose into magnesium oxide and water: Mg(OH)2 -> MgO + H2O.
It fizzes for awhile and then it makes a compound called magnesium oxide.
Magnesium oxide don't react with water.

The magnesium oxide (MgO) is obtained and water vapours released.
Calcium oxide + water
No. Magnesium oxide is not soluble in water. On contact with water it will form magnesium hydroxide.
Water is added to the crucible to convert magnesium (Mg) to magnesium oxide (Mg(OH)2) because when magnesium reactions with air, it also reacts with the nitrogen (N2) in the air to form magnesium nitride (Mg3N2).3 Mg + N2 --> Mg3N2By adding water to the crucible containing the magnesium nitride, the magnesium nitride will become magnesium hydroxide. The ammonia gas produced will rise out of the crucible, eliminating the nitrogen.Mg3N2 + H2O --> 3Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3After heating the magnesium hydroxide, the product becomes just magnesium oxide.3Mg(OH)2 + heat --> MgO + H2OIn other words, when water is added, the nitrogen will react with the water, causing it to form ammonia and thus evaporating from the substance. This leaves behind the magnesium hydroxide, which becomes magnesium oxide and water after it is heated.
If you look on the pH scale, water is neutral, so adding magnesium oxide will turn the water from neutral to an alkali. I hope this helped:)
Magnesium oxide will react with water to form Magnesium Hydroxide. Magnesium Hydroxide will not reat further with water

Yes. Magnesium oxide will react with water to form magnesium hydroxide.
Temperature rises.
