Chapter 9.3, Problem 9.4WE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The balanced and ionic and net ionic equations for the neutralization reaction of Milk of magnesia ${\text{Mg(OH)}}_{\text{2(aq) }}{\text{and HCl}}_{\text{(aq)}}$ should be written.

Concept introduction:

Neutralization reaction:

The reaction between acid and base to produce a soluble salt and water is known as neutralization reaction.

Balanced equation:

• The balanced equation is nothing but the all ionic compounds are represented as neutral compounds using the molecular formula.
• In the balanced equation, the number of atoms for each element and total charge are equal in the reaction for in both reactants and the products sides.

Ionic equation:

• In the ionic reactions, all the species present in reaction are written with respective charges is called ionic equation.

Net ionic equation:

• The equation contains only the spices involving in product formation is known as net ionic equation.
• The removal of spectator ions forms ionic equation to gives net ionic equation.
