To neutralise stomach acid
Magnesium chloride can be used to test for the present of which negative ions?
Hydroxide ions (OH-)
Mg(OH)2 will form giving a white precipitate
What is observed when MgCl2 is added to NaOH?
White precipitate
Mg(OH)2 is formed
Mg(OH)2 is sparingly soluble
State the trend in reactivity with water down group 2
Reactivity increases
Mg is least reactive, Ba is most reactive
