Answer 1

Answer:

b The properties of a

are different from that of the elements present

Answer 2

Answer:

The magnesium hydroxide solution isn't dipped in the paper, it's the other way around. ... The paper is what would change color, not the magnesium hydroxide. Now that we have that cleared up, a solution of magnesium hydroxide in water would be basic, so red litmus paper would turn blue.
