The chemical equation above describes the reaction process between nitric acid (HNO3) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), resulting in nitrogen dioxide gas (NO2), water (H2O), and magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO3)2).
-
Reaction conditions: The reaction takes place at room temperature.
-
Reaction process: When nitric acid reacts with magnesium hydroxide, the reaction occurs as follows:
4HNO3 + Mg(OH)2 -> 2NO2 + 2H2O + Mg(NO3)2
Where (HNO3) and (Mg(OH)2) are the reactants, and (NO2), (H2O), and (Mg(NO3)2) are the reaction products.
-
Phenomenon: When the reaction occurs, brown nitrogen dioxide gas is released. This is the observable phenomenon when the reaction takes place.
