What is the salt (ionic compound) produced as a result of the neutralization reaction between magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid?
A
NaCl
B
NaOH
C
MgCl
D
MgCl2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -a) The reaction between magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid is an example of neutralisation reaction. The hydroxide and hydrogen ions will combine to form water. The remaining ions combine to produce the salt of neutralisation. The salt is magnesium chloride.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) ( M g ( O H ) 2 ) are Arrhenius acid and Arrhenius base, respectively. Hence, they give a neutralization reaction to produce a salt, i.e., magnesium chloride (MgCl2) ( M g C l 2 ) and water (H2O) ( H 2 O ) as products.

Detailed explanation-3: -The balanced chemical equation for magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid is: Mg(OH)2(s)+2HCl(aq)→MgCl2(aq)+2H2O(l)

Detailed explanation-4: -Sodium chloride (NaCl) is formed when hydrochloric acid is neutralised by sodium hydroxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -The reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid combine to form a salt of magnesium chloride and release hydrogen gas.
