Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When hydrochloric acid is added to water, it dissociates into hydrogen ions (H+) and chloride ions (Cl-):
HCl -> H+ + Cl-
These hydrogen ions react with the hydroxide ions (OH-) present in the magnesium hydroxide solution:
H+ + OH- -> H2O
This means that the hydrogen ion concentration in the resulting solution will increase, making the solution more acidic. Therefore, the resulting solution will be basic.
