he left side of a chemical reaction is shown. Mg(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Which type of reaction will the reactants undergo? (1 point) Responses single displacement single displacement synthesis synthesis decomposition decomposition double displacement

Answer 1

The reaction between magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) and nitric acid (HNO₃) can be classified as a double displacement reaction (also known as a double replacement reaction). In this type of reaction, the components of the reactants exchange places to form new products. In this case, magnesium will react with nitric acid leading to the formation of magnesium nitrate and water.

So, the correct response is double displacement.
