Q. What are the products formed when an aqueous solution of magnesium bicarbonate is boiled?
A) $MgO,\ H_{2}O,\ CO_{2}$
B) $Mg\left( HCO_{3} \right)_{2},\ H_{2}O$
C) $Mg(OH)_{2},\ H_{2}O$
D) $Mg,\ CO_{2},\ H_{2}O$
Explanation
(a)
$Mg\left( HCO_{3} \right)_{2}\overset{\ \ \ \ \ \mathrm{\Delta}\ \ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}\ MgO + H_{2}O + 2CO_{2}$
aqueous solution of (products)
