Magnesium Reacts With Hydrochloric Acid
In this reaction the magnesium and acid are gradually used up. Regardless of what acid or metal is used it will always produce salt and H 2 gas. Pin Page H OH HOH usually written H 2 O Oxidation-reduction. . Turns blue litmus red. As for bases they do not. Dilute hydrochloric acid 1 M 25 cm 3. Reacts exothermically with organic bases amines amides and inorganic bases oxides and hydroxides of metals. Magnesium oxide reacts with acids as you would expect any simple metal oxide to react. For example it reacts with warm dilute hydrochloric acid to give magnesium chloride solution. Nitric acid reacts with most metals but the details depend on the concentration of the acid and the nature of the metal. Mgs 2 HClaq -- MgCl 2 aq H 2 g This demonstration can be used to illustrate the characteristic reaction of metals with acid a single replacement reaction or to demonstrate the generation of hydrogen gasThe flammabi
