Question

Write the chemical equation for magnesium sulphate

Answer 1

Answer:

$Mg(OH)_2 + H_2SO_4 → MgSO_4 + 2H_2O$

Explanation:

As we know that we have to balance the chemical equation because of the follow the rules of the Law of the conservation of mass. As we know that it is a neutralization reaction in which salt and water as a result. So, here magnesium sulphate is the salt. It is a neutral salt which is formed when strong acid reacts with strong base. As here in this reaction sulphuric acid is used as a strong acid and magnesium hydroxide is used as a strong base. When magnesium hydroxide reacts sulphuric acid, to form magnesium sulphate and water as a product during neutralization reaction.

Reaction:

$Mg(OH)_2 + H_2SO_4 → MgSO_4 + 2H_2O$
