Why is magnesium oxide basic?

Magnesium oxide is a base because it can produce hydroxide ions in solution. (The definition of a base by Bronsted-Lowry is that it is a proton (that is, a hydrogen ion, because hydrogen ions have no neutron and have lost their electron, so they are just left with a proton) acceptor. MgO+H2O ---- Mg+2OH Therefore, it produces hydroxide ions in solution.


How many grams of magnesium hydroxide required to make 1M of the solution?

the formula is no. moles is mass / molecular mass. As the number of moles is 1, the mass required will be exactly the same as the molecular mass, which is 58.32g


Why does barium hydroxide dissolve in water while magnesium hydroxide does not?

One factor is that barium is a much larger atom and ion than magnesium. So the bond between barium and the hydroxide anion is much weaker, making it easier for the two ions to be pulled apart in water solution.


Is magnesium oxide a base or alkali?

Magnesium oxide is considered a base because it is a metal oxide that reacts with water to form a basic solution. Alkalis are usually bases that are soluble in water, like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.


How tp prepare magnesium acetate?

To prepare magnesium acetate, you can react magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide with acetic acid. Start by adding magnesium oxide or hydroxide to acetic acid in a controlled manner while stirring until the reaction is complete. Filter the solution to remove any insoluble impurities, and then evaporate the solvent to obtain solid magnesium acetate.

How do you make magnesium hydroxide solution?

To make magnesium hydroxide solution, simply mix magnesium oxide with water. The chemical equation for this reaction is: MgO + H2O -> Mg(OH)2. Stir the solution thoroughly until the magnesium oxide is fully dissolved to obtain magnesium hydroxide solution.


Is magnesium hydroxide more soluble in an acidic solution or pure water?

Magnesium hydroxide is less soluble in acidic solutions compared to pure water. In an acidic solution, magnesium hydroxide can form a solid precipitate due to the neutralization reaction with the acid.


What happens when magnesium oxide is added to water the salt will be?

When magnesium oxide is added to water, it will react to form magnesium hydroxide, a salt solution, and release heat. This reaction is exothermic and the magnesium hydroxide formed will be a white solid that will dissolve in water to form the salt solution.


How do you Write the hydrobromic acid reacting with NaOH solution and HNO reacting with potassium hydroxide?

Hydrobromic acid reacts with NaOH to form water and sodium bromide. The balanced chemical equation is: HBr + NaOH → H2O + NaBr. Nitric acid reacts with potassium hydroxide to form water and potassium nitrate. The balanced chemical equation is: HNO3 + KOH → H2O + KNO3.


Saturated solution of calcium hydroxide is added to a solution of magnesium chloride?

A white precipitate of magnesium hydroxide forms because calcium hydroxide reacts with magnesium chloride to form magnesium hydroxide and calcium chloride. This is a double displacement reaction where ions from the two compounds switch partners.


What happens with phenothalein is placed in Magnesium hydroxide?

Phenolphthalein in a solution containing magnesium hydroxide would remain colorless as it does not change color at a basic pH, where magnesium hydroxide is present. Phenolphthalein changes color in acidic solutions, not basic ones.


Equimolar solutions of potassium hydroxide and hydrobromic acid are mixed?

The final reaction equation is OH- + H+ (YIELDS) H2O. - Stands for one negative charge and + stands for one positive charge. Dont get confused if they try to give you more info than you need like -equimolar-.


What is the chemical formula for aqueous magnesium hydroxide?

The chemical formula of magnesium hydroxide is Mg(OH)2; this compound is extremely low soluble in water.


What is the word equation for magnesium hydroxide neutralising hydrochloric acid in your stomach?

Milk of magnesia is magnesium hydroxide or Mg(OH)2 and is a base stomach acid is a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid or HCl, a strong acid. They will react chemically to produce magnesium chloride an water. MgOH + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + 2H2O


The name given to an aqueous solution of HBr is?

Hydrobromic acid


What is another name for a basic solution that is named after a metallic family?

If you mean a basic solution that has a metal in its formula, it is usually just _ hydroxide. Example: Ca(OH)2 is a basic solution and its name is CALCIUM hydroxide (calcium is the metal). Mg(OH)2 -> Magnesium hydroxide etc.


How do you precipitate magnesium ion out of 50-mL of 21 M solution of magnesium nitrate?

To precipitate magnesium ion, you can add a precipitating agent such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to the magnesium nitrate solution. This will cause magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) to form as a precipitate. You can then filter the solution to separate the precipitate from the liquid.
