Question

Write out the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when Mg(OH)2 and HCl react together. You do not need to make your subscripts smaller; just write them out as regular numbers. For example: Mg(OH)2.

Answer 1

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mg(OH)2 is a base and HCl is an acid.

When a base reacts with an acid, it leads to the production of a salt with the release of water molecule. This reaction is known as neutralization reaction.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction follows:

`Mg(OH)2+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl2+2H2O`

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of magnesium hydroxide reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid to produce 2 moles of magnesium chloride and 2 moles of water molecule.

Answer 2

magnesium hydroxide react with hydrochloride to give magnesium chloride and water
THe word equation
magnesium hydroxide +hydrochroric acid---> Magnesium chloride+water

chemical equation
Mg(OH)2(S) + 2HCl (L)--> Mgcl2(S) + 2H2O(l)
when balancing the equation we count the number of molecules in the reactant side which should balance with molecules in the product side.
