Question

1. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of Epsom salts in a half cup of water.
2. Add 2 teaspoons of ammonia to the Epsom salts solution and stir thoroughly. Record your observations.
3. Allow the mixture to stand for 30 minutes and record your observations.

Observations:
Appearance after initial mixing
Appearance after 30 minutes

Analysis/Conclusion:
1. Balance the equation, if necessary, for the reaction between magnesium sulfate and ammonia. MgSO4 + NH4OH → (NH4)2SO4 + Mg(OH)2
2. Classify the reaction between magnesium sulfate and ammonia

Answer 1

okay, first, do this, MgSO4 + NH4OH → (NH4)2SO4 + Mg(OH)2
do you know how?

Answer 2

the reaction between, magnesium sulfate and ammonia, i know the answer

Answer 3

No reaction. MgSO4 and HCl are the products of the reaction of magnesium chloride with sulfuric acid. MgCl + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + HCl

Answer 4

got it?

Answer 5

magnesium + hydrochloric acid --> magnesium chloride + hydrogen (gas) Mg + 2 HCl ==> MgCl2 + H2 ↑

Answer 6

If the hydrochloric acid is in water solution, the usual reaction is:Mg + 2 HCl => MgCl2 + H2.

Answer 7

got it?

Answer 8

I think so, thank you!
