Mg(OH)2 + H2SO4 -> MgSO4 + 2H2O
Looks like magnesium sulfate.
It contains the hydroxide ion, making it a base.
Was: the composition of epsom salt is magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid Should be: Epsom Salts are Magnesium sulfate, usually with some water attached to it. Magnesium hydroxide is a base, hydrochloric acid is an acid. When Hydrochoric acid is not in water, it's a gas at normal temperatures - thus not able to be made into a dry powder. Acid + Base = salt + water. In this case it would make Magnesium Chloride + water.
Steel is a base, hence the reason it corrodes. The Iron and other elements in the steel are formed to create 'steel', and hardened in a process called galvanizing to stop the corrosion. Also by definition, any metal is a base.
Carbon DioxideWhen an acid reacts with a carbonate, the products are:A salt + carbon dioxide + water
Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) is formed in solution and hydrogen is released.
hydrogen gasmagnesium + sulfuric acid → magnesium sulfate + hydrogen
The salt formed when magnesium reacts with nitric acid is magnesium nitrate.
Magnesium chloride.MgCl2
When copper reacts with sulphuric acid, copper sulfate is formed. This reaction involves the displacement of hydrogen in sulphuric acid by copper, resulting in the formation of copper sulfate and hydrogen gas.
Zinc reacts the fastest with sulfuric acid, followed by magnesium, and then lead. Zinc has a higher reactivity compared to magnesium and lead, leading to a quicker reaction when exposed to sulfuric acid.
Magnesium is the metal. Sulfuric acid is a compound.
Mg+ H2SO4 ---> MgSO4+ H2. So, in words:Magnesium+Sulphuric Acid---> Magnesium Sulphate+ HydrogenMagnesium Sulphate and Hydrogen is your answer
No acid is formed. The reaction produces hydrogen gas and magnesium chloride, a salt.
Sulphurous acid is formed when sulphur dioxide dissolves in water. Sulphuric acid is formed when sulphur trioxide dissolves in water. Over time, sulphurous acid will oxidize to sulphuric. SO2 + H20 -> H2SO3 (sulphurous acid) SO3 + H20 -> H2SO4 (sulphuric acid)

Reactant.
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) reacts with magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) to produce magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), water, and carbon dioxide. The chemical equation for this reaction is: H2SO4 + MgCO3 -> MgSO4 + H2O + CO2
