A solution of `MgCl_(2)` in water has pHA. `lt7`B. `gt7`C. 7D. 14.2

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`MgCl_(2)` is a salt of weak base `[Mg(OH)_(2)]` and strong acid (HCl). Therefore, it undergoes cationic hydrolysis to give an acidic solution having `pHlt7`.
`Mg^(2+)+2H-OHrarrMh(OH)_(2)+2H^(+)`
Magnesium hydroxide is almost completely insoluble in water.
