The products of the neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid (upper H upper C l) and magnesium hydroxide (upper M g left parenthesis upper O upper H right-parenthesis subscript 2 baseline) are


A- MgCl and H2O.

B- MgCl2 and H2O.

C- HCl and MgOH.

D- HCl and Mg(OH)2.

Respuesta :

I believe your answer would be MgCl2 and H2O. (:

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is defined as a reaction in which an acid chemically reacts with a base in order to produce salt and water.

For example, [tex]2HCl + Mg(OH)_{2} \rightarrow MgCl_{2} + 2H_{2}O[/tex]

In this reaction, HCl is the acid and [tex]Mg(OH)_{2}[/tex] is the base. The salt produced by chemical combination of HCl and [tex]Mg(OH)_{2}[/tex] magnesium chloride.

Therefore, we can conclude that products of the neutralization reaction between hydrochloric acid (upper H upper C l) and magnesium hydroxide are [tex]MgCl_{2}[/tex] and [tex]H_{2}O[/tex].
