Answer:
Explanation:
{a}AIM: To test whether the magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] is acidic or basic.
{b}Yes, because when the magnesium ribbon was burn it was in the presence of air, so it was created magnesium oxide (MgO2).
{c} When mixed with water [H2O] it create magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2]
MgO2 + H2O ----> Mg(OH)2
