What is the observation for MgO + H2SO4?

Question

thomaster · Answer

$\bf\Huge Welcome~to~\color{#00B4ff}{Open}\color{#7cc517}{Study}~!!!$

This is a double displacement reaction, do you know what the products are?

mayankdevnani · Answer

$$\huge \bf MgO+H_2O=\color{red}{MgSO_4}+\color{blue}{H_2O}$$

where MgSO4 and H2O are products.

mayankdevnani · Answer

and this reaction is known as DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT REACTION.

mayankdevnani · Answer

understood?  @AnImEfReaK

thomaster · Answer

@mayankdevnani 
You made a mistake
It's $\LARGE \bf Mg\color{red}O+H_2\color{blue}{SO_4}\Longrightarrow Mg\color{blue}{SO_4}+H_2\color{red}O$

anonymous · Answer

The products are H2O AND MgSO4

mayankdevnani · Answer

sorry....@thomaster   i made silly mistake...thank you for highlighting

mayankdevnani · Answer

yeah.   @AnImEfReaK

thomaster · Answer

@AnImEfReaK yes those are the products

anonymous · Answer

I don't know what your saying there @thomaster

mayankdevnani · Answer

@AnImEfReaK   he said that i made a silly mistake.
Take a look in the reactant side and you will see that in place of H2SO4 ,i placed a product named H2O

mayankdevnani · Answer

got it?   @AnImEfReaK

mathslover · Answer

Well, I am confused. What we have to find here? Products or something else, what does "observation" mean in this context?

mayankdevnani · Answer

lolz...  @mathslover

anonymous · Answer

Yeah so what are the observations for this reaction? I mean what do you see? Like a fizz or change in colour? Ph change?

mayankdevnani · Answer

it is a ACID BASE reaction.

anonymous · Answer

I know that... But my assigments asks for it

mayankdevnani · Answer

$$\huge \bf \color{red}{ACID}+\color{blue}{BASE}=SALT+Water$$

anonymous · Answer

Ok then thanks

mathslover · Answer

Oh.... okay.

First of all, the products formed are salt (MgSO4) and water (H2O) 

This reaction is also known as neutralization reaction. 

Metal Oxide (MgO) is basic in nature.

Now, observation : 

I think, we will have to do in lab and then note it down.

anonymous · Answer

But we aren't meant to do this in a lab...

mathslover · Answer

Okay, wait!

mathslover · Answer

Colour of product formed : $MgSO_4$ is Pink when hydrated and when anyhydrated is white.

mathslover · Answer

*anhydrated

mayankdevnani · Answer

$$\huge \bf \color{red}{ ACID}=H_2SO_4$$
$$\huge \bf \color{Blue}{BASE}=MgO$$
$$\huge \bf SALT=MgSO_4$$
$$\huge \bf WATER=H_2O$$

and this reaction(ACID BASE) reaction is called ;-
$$\huge \bf \color{red}{Neutralization}~\color{blue}{Reaction}$$

mathslover · Answer

I think, pH must be between 5.5 - 6.5

mayankdevnani · Answer

understood?  @AnImEfReaK

anonymous · Answer

Could you write it simpler @mayankdevnani

mayankdevnani · Answer

what do you mean?

anonymous · Answer

Like how you wrote it with brackets and stuff

mayankdevnani · Answer

pardon please

anonymous · Answer

$$\huge \bf \color{red}{ ACID}=H_2SO_4$$
$$\huge \bf \color{Blue}{BASE}=MgO$$
$$\huge \bf SALT=MgSO_4$$
$$\huge \bf WATER=H_2O$$

and this reaction(ACID BASE) reaction is called ;-
$$\huge \bf \color{red}{Neutralization}~\color{blue}{Reaction}$$

I can't understand this

anonymous · Answer

Sorry

mayankdevnani · Answer

what?

mathslover · Answer

He wrote : 
In the reaction :

Acid is H2SO4
Base is MgO
Salt is MgSO4
Water is formed (H2O) 

This reaction is called neutralization reaction or Acid Base reaction

anonymous · Answer

Ok but what about the blue and red does this refer to litmus?

mathslover · Answer

Oh, no , he just inserted the colour for design .

anonymous · Answer

Ok thanks :)
