when magnesium oxide dissolved in water then it shows a reaction in which magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH) and hydrogen gas (H2) forms. These reactions found alkaline in nature.
hope it will help you.
best of luck.
Answer:
When Mg(OH)2 is dissolved in H2O (water) it will dissociate (dissolve) into Mg +2 and OH- ions. To show that they are dissolved in water we can write (aq) after each. The (aq) shows that they are aqueous – dissolved in water.
