Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The reaction between magnesium hydroxide and water is to be balanced.
Concept introduction:
To balance a reaction, the number of atoms of each element on both sides should be equal.
Answer to Problem 64A
Explanation of Solution
When magnesium hydroxide is dissolved in water it dissociates into its ions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reaction between magnesium metal and hydrobromic acid is to be balanced.
Concept introduction:
To balance a reaction, the number of atoms of each element on both sides should be equal.
Answer to Problem 64A
Explanation of Solution
When magnesium metal reacts with hydrobromic acid, magnesium bromide and hydrogen are formed.
Balancing the equation by making the number of each atom equal on both sides-
