Question

what is the product of Mg(OH)2(s) + HCl(aq)

Answer 1

Answer:

The products of $Mg(OH)_{2} +HCl$ are $MgCl_{2} + H_{2} O$.

Explanation:

$Mg(OH)_{2}$ is a weak base. It is a white solid with low solubility in water. It is a common component of antacids, such as milk of magnesia. HCl is a strong acid. An acid-base reaction happens between $Mg(OH)_{2}$ and HCl. Neutralization reaction leads to the formation of salt and water, that is $MgCl_{2} + H_{2} O$.  The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

$Mg(OH)_{2} +2HCl$ → $MgCl_{2} + 2H_{2} O$

Answer 2

Answer:

Mg(OH)2(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ----> MgCl2 + 2 H2O

The Product is Magnesium Chloride and Water

Explanation:

This a simple neutralization reaction between an acid and a base to give a salt of a compound and water as a product.
