they will form a magnesium salt and hydrogen gas
Yes, following the reaction : Mg + 2HCl(aq) -> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3)Explanation:Magnesium oxide is a basic oxide. A property of basic oxides is that they react with acid to form salt and water. Soda water contains an acid called carbonic acid. Magnesium oxide can react with carbonic acid to form magnesium carbonate as shown in the equation below:MgO(s) + H2CO3(aq) --> MgCO3(aq) + H2O(l)
When magnesium chloride solution is mixed with sodium carbonate solution, a white precipitate of magnesium carbonate forms. This is a double displacement reaction where the magnesium ions from magnesium chloride exchange with the carbonate ions from sodium carbonate to form the insoluble magnesium carbonate.
When magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid, it produces hydrogen gas and magnesium chloride. This is a common example of a single displacement reaction, where the more reactive magnesium metal displaces the hydrogen from the hydrochloric acid to form magnesium chloride and release hydrogen gas.
hydrochloric acid + magnesium => magnesium chloride + hydrogen 2HCl + Mg => MgCl2 + H2
Magnesium chloride is formed.
Almost any acid will react with magnesium to produce hydrogen.
a magnesium salt of the acid, and hydrogen gas - water is already present.
When hydrochloric acid is mixed with magnesium, hydrogen gas is produced along with magnesium chloride. This reaction can be represented by the chemical equation: 2HCl + Mg -> MgCl2 + H2.
When Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) are mixed with sulfuric acid (H2SO4), a reaction occurs where the magnesium sulfate is protonated by the sulfuric acid to form magnesium bisulfate and water. This reaction releases heat and should be handled carefully due to the corrosive nature of sulfuric acid.
Magnesium nitrate (salt) and water are produced.
it depends what acid it is
The magnesium will react with the acid to produce hydrogen gas and a magnesium salt.
When magnesium ribbon is added to acetic acid, a chemical reaction occurs which produces hydrogen gas and magnesium acetate. The magnesium ribbon will dissolve as it reacts with the acetic acid, releasing bubbles of hydrogen gas in the process. This can be observed by the fizzing or bubbling that occurs.
Carbon Dioxide
When magnesium is mixed with hydrochloric acid, a chemical reaction occurs which releases hydrogen gas and forms magnesium chloride. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat. It is important to handle this reaction carefully as it can be vigorous and produce flammable hydrogen gas.
The products that are formed will be magnesium salt, water and carbon dioxide. Exactly what salt is made depends the acid used. Hydrochloric acid produces magnesium chloride; sulphuric acid produces magnesium sulphate; nitric acid produces magnesium nitrate.
