Need help with acid/base reaction and litmus paper test...please??
« on: March 11, 2011, 11:18:23 PM »
Okay in this lab we did placed 0.2 g Mg(OH)2 into 10 ml of water. We heated it in a water bath and let it cool after. If we tested it with red litmus paper, what would the results be?

If we then added this to NaOH, why is it insoluble?

Thank you.

You did the experiment and you ask us what the result was?
