Product of Hydrochloric acid and Magnesium oxide?

Answer 1

Magnesium chloride and water are produced in the stated reaction.

Answer 2

The actual product formed is Hydrogen and Magnesium chloride

there's and easy way to remember what happens when you add a metal to an acid,

M-metal

A-acid

S-salt

H-hydrogen

so you ca see that when you add a metal to an acid you always get a salt (magnesium chloride in this case) and hyrdrogen, remember it by MASH

Answer 3

If you are thinking that it produces chlorine gas as a product, it does not. Only Manganese(IV) oxide (Mn02) added to Hydrochloric acid (HCl) will produce Chlorine gas (Cl2)which bleaches red litmus paper. Here's to prove it : http://amazingrust.com/experiments/how_to/Cl2.html If your question was coorect, then heres the answer: http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/webdocs/Thermochem/Lab-UsingHessLaw.html the web page has the equation on it.

Answer 4

Mg + HCl ---> MgCl2 + H2 (g)

Magnesium + hydrochloric acid ---> Magnesium chloride + hydrogen gas
