Question
What is the chemical formula for the product formed by the reaction between magnesium hydroxide and nitric acid?
Answers
GPT-4o mini
When magnesium hydroxide \((\text{Mg(OH)}_2)\) reacts with nitric acid \((\text{HNO}_3)\), the products formed are magnesium nitrate \((\text{Mg(NO}_3)_2)\) and water \((\text{H}_2\text{O})\).
The balanced chemical reaction is:
\[
\text{Mg(OH)}_2 + 2 \text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{Mg(NO}_3)_2 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O}
\]
So, the chemical formula for the product magnesium nitrate is \(\text{Mg(NO}_3)_2\).
The balanced chemical reaction is:
\[
\text{Mg(OH)}_2 + 2 \text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{Mg(NO}_3)_2 + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O}
\]
So, the chemical formula for the product magnesium nitrate is \(\text{Mg(NO}_3)_2\).
