Answer to Question #170240 in Chemistry for ace

Question

Magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen sulfate react to form magnesium sulfate and water.

Finding equation

Answer 1

Magnesium hydroxide - Mg(OH)₂

Dihydrogen sulfate - H₂SO₄ (sulfuric acid)

Magnesium sulfate - MgSO₄

Water - H₂O

Solution:

Word equation:

Magnesium hydroxide and dihydrogen sulfate react to form magnesium sulfate and water.

Complete chemical equation:

Mg(OH)₂(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

Total ionic equation:

Mg(OH)₂(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄^2-(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄^2-(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

Net ionic equation:

Mg(OH)₂(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2H₂O(l)
