Question

help me
aqueous solution of magnesium chloride is acidic in nature

Answer 1

To determine this, we must find the preparation of the salt.

Mg(OH)2 + HCl ==== MgCl2+ H2O

Magnesium hydroxide is a weak base and HCl is a strong acid. We know that,

a weak base and a strong acid gives an acidic salt. Therefore, MgCl2 is acidic.

Or

It's neutral because MgCl2 is a salt, which is formed from the reaction between Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O

Note that not all salts are neutral, but those that are neutral are neutral due to the fact that the reaction is between a strong acid and a strong alkali. If they weren't both strong, then the salt wouldn't be neutral.

In this case, the magnesium hydroxide and the hydrochloride acid are both strong, so they form a neutral salt.

Therefore, the solution is neutral too.


Hope it helps u.
Mark as brainliest answer.

Answer 2

HEYA!!!

No, aqueous solution of magnesium chloride is neutral in nature...
IT IS SO BCOZ MgCl2 is a salt and aqueous solution of salts are neutral.
