What is the balanced chemical equation that describes the dissociation of the strong base magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2 in water?
1 Answer
The equation is
Explanation:
Magnesium hydroxide is "insoluble", so only a small amount it goes into solution. But every bit that goes into solution dissociates into
There is a dynamic equilibrium between the solid compound and the ions in solution.
The
Here's a video showing the process.
