About Magnesium Carbonate
- Magnesium Carbonate is a base.
- Magnesium Carbonate reacts with acids to produce a Magnesium salt, Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Hydrochloric Acid + Magnesium Carbonate → Magnesium Chloride + Carbon Dioxide + Water
- 2HCl + MgCO3 → MgCl2 + CO2 + H2O
- Sulphuric Acid + Magnesium Carbonate → Magnesium Sulphate + Carbon Dioxide + Water
- H2SO4 + MgCO3 → MgSO4 + CO2 + H2O
- Nitric Acid + Magnesium Carbonate → Magnesium Nitrate + Carbon Dioxide + Water
- 2HNO3 + MgCO3 → Mg(NO3)2 + CO2 + H2O
