Yes!!!!
MgO (Magnesium oxide ) is a base, because it is a Group 2 metallic oxide.
An Alkali is a soluble base.
So if MgO is dissolved in water it forms the alkali magnesium hydroxide.
MgO(s) + H2O(l) = Mg(OH)2(aq)
NB Note the use of brackets in Mg(OH)2. This indicates that there are two hydroxide anions in the molecule. Writing as MgOH2 (No brackets) is INCORRECT, because it only indicates 1 x oxygen present , when there are actually 2 x oxygens in the molecule.
What else can I help you with?
Magnesium reacts with steam to make magnesium oxide and...?
... hydrogen gas. This is a displacement reaction in which magnesium displaces hydrogen in water to form magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas.
When magnesium combines with oxygen what does the reaction involve?
Magnesium reacts violently with oxygen to make Magnesium Oxide
What are the two elements in magnesium oxide?
magnesium oxide is made up of two elements magnesium & oxygen..
What type of oxide is magnesium oxide?
The answer is in the question. Magnesium is an element, so is oxygen, together they can form MgO, a compound, as compounds are multi atomic structures, like Iron Oxide, another rust just like MgO.
What is the chemical equation for the synthesis of magnesium oxide from magnesium and oxygen?
You are doing:Magnesium + Oxygen -> Magnesium OxideSo replace the words with symbols to make the equation more advanced:Mg + O2 -> MgOAnd to balance it:2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO
What does magnesium and copper oxide make?
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
How can one make magnesium oxide?
Heat a strip of magnesium in the air. The product is a white powder , magnesium oxide .
What does magnesium and oxgyen make?
They make magnesium oxide, MgO.
What compound is magnesium and oxygen make?
Magnesium and oxygen combine to form magnesium oxide (MgO). Magnesium oxide is a white solid that occurs naturally as the mineral periclase. It is commonly used in various industrial applications, including as a refractory material and in the production of ceramics.

Would an acid or an alkali be formed if an oxide were dissolved in water?
When you dissolve an Oxide (e.g. CO2 or SO2) in water you normally make an acid.
Magnesium reacts with steam to make magnesium oxide and...?
