Question

Write an activity to show that magnesium hydroxide is basic in nature.

Answer 1

Answer:

When metallic oxides react with water they form metallic hydroxides which are basic in nature. To show that these are basic in nature,we should conduct a litmus paper test. In this experiment,we will observe that red litmus turns blue on coming in contact with them. This shows that metallic oxides are basic in nature.

Answer 2

Answer:

When a metal reacts with oxygen, metal oxides are formed. These metal oxides are basic in nature as a solution of a metal oxide in water turns red litmus blue.

Example:-Magnesium reacts with oxygen to form Magnesium oxide.

Chemical Equation:-Mg+O2⟶MgOMg+O2⟶MgO Mg+O2⟶MgO
