Question

when milk of magnesia reacts with acetic acid it produces (a) acidic salt (b) basic salt (c) complex salt (d) neutral salt​

Answer 1

Answer:

d) nuetral salt is the correct answer

Answer 2

When milk of magnesia reacts with acetic acid it produces (d) neutral salt​.

Explanation:

• Milk of magnesia contains $\[Mg{(OH)_2}\]$. It is basic in nature.
• When it reacts with an acid, it neutralises it and forms a neutral salt.
• Acetic acid is an acid, therefore, if milk of magnesia reacts with it, it forms magnesium acetate which is a neutral salt.
• The reaction can be given as:

        $\[Mg{(OH)_2} + C{H_3}COOH \to Mg{(C{H_3}COO)_2} + {H_2}O\]$
