Problem 33 from chapter 14 is asking us to write a balanced equation for hydrogen chloride and magnesium hydroxide.
00:09
It then is asking us to identify the congee acid and base pairs.
00:13
So let's first start by writing out the equation.
00:20
So we have hydrogen chloride plus magnesium hydroxide.
00:30
So right away we can tell that a salt is going to form because hydrogen chloride is a very strong acid.
00:48
Magnetheum hydroxide is a relatively strong base.
00:53
So let's go ahead and write that.
00:59
So we have magnesium chloride.
01:10
And then we're going to have the formation of water because hydrogen chloride, is an acid.
01:17
It's going to be donating its proton to these hydroxide groups.
01:27
So we have the formation of water.
01:37
However, before we continue, we must notice that there are two hydroxide groups, and there's only one oxygen on this side.
01:46
So there must be two water molecules to get this equation balanced, oops, big two.
01:56
So that gives us four hydrogen molecules on this side, but here we only have three...
