Question

(d) Acids react with metal carbonates and metal oxides/hydroxides. Write down word equations showing the reactions between

1. magnesium carbonate and hydrochloric acid (1 point)

2. magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid

Answer 1

Answer:

MgC

HCl

MgHO

HCl

chemical reaction

Answer 2

Explanation:

1.Magnesium carbonate + Hydrochloric acid------>Magnesium chloride + carbondioxide + water

MgCO3 + 2HCl ----> MgCl2 + CO2 + H2O

2.Magnesium hydroxide + Hydrochloric acid------->Magnesium chloride + water Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl ----> MgCl2 + 2H2O
