Reaction 1: 2NaOH (aq) + MgCl2 (aq) --> 2NaCl (aq) + Mg(OH)2 (s)
Reaction 2: Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)
- If the above reactions were carried out on a pan balance (i.e. scale), would you expect the total mass to go up, down, or stay the same for each of the reactions?
- When reaction 1 is carried out, what visual evidence will there be that a reaction has taken place? Do not list things that cannot be seen.
- When reaction 2 is carried out, what visual evidence will there be that a reaction has taken place? Do not list things that cannot be seen.
- Why will you not be able to see the formation of water when reaction 2 is carried out?
