Which salt is produced by the neutralization of hydrobromic acid with magnesium hydroxide? A) MgBr B) Mg₂Br₃ C) MgBr₂ D) Mg₃Br₂ E) Mg₂Br

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The neutralization of hydrobromic acid (HBr) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) produces magnesium bromide (MgBr2) and water (H2O). The subscript 2 in MgBr2 indicates that there are two bromide ions for every one magnesium ion. Therefore, the correct formula for the salt produced is MgBr2. Choice C is the only option that includes MgBr2.
