A Correct answer
Explanation

Magnesium hydroxide is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Mg(OH)₂. It occurs in nature as the mineral brucite.

Milk of magnesia contains magnesium, which is a naturally occurring mineral. The human body requires magnesium to help many of its systems function properly, most notably the muscles and the nerves.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Mg2C3 reacts with D2O to form propyne-d4 (CH3-C=CD). Hydroboration-oxidation adds OH and H across the triple bond, followed by reduction and dehydration, leading to the specified product structure.

Beryllium is placed above magnesium in the group II. Beryllium dust, therefore, when added to $MgCl {2}$ solution will ____________.

  1. have no effect

  2. precipitate Mg metal

  3. precipitate MgO

  4. lead to dissolution of Be metal

A Correct answer
Explanation

Beryllium is less reactive than magnesium and cannot displace magnesium from its salts. In fact, magnesium is more electropositive than beryllium.

The reaction between marble and dilute $H _2SO _4$ is not used to prepare carbon dioxide for laboratory purpose.
Answer whether the above statement is true or false.

  1. True

  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Insoluble $CaSO _4$ is formed which deposits on the surface of marble and prevent the further action of dilute $H _2SO _4$, so the evolution of $CO _ 2$ ceases after some time.
