Question

Write an overall equation for the acid-base reaction that would be required to produce the following salt. MgCl2

Answer 1

Mg+Cl2--> MgCl2

Magnesium plus chlorine equals magnesium chloride

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally;

Acid + Base --> Salt + Water

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

In the equation above,

Mg(OH)2 is the Base.

HCl is the acid.

MgCl2 is the salf formed.
