Solution: The following are two reaction schemes involving

Chapter 21, Problem 21.69

(choose chapter or problem)

The following are two reaction schemes involving magnesium. Scheme I: When magnesium burns in oxygen, a white solid (A) is formed. A dissolves in 1 M HCl to give a colorless solution (B). Upon addition of Na2CO3 to B, a white precipitate is formed (C). On heating, C decomposes to D and a colorless gas is generated (E). When E is passed through limewater [an aqueous suspension of Ca(OH)2], a white precipitate appears (F). Scheme II: Magnesium reacts with 1 M H2SO4 to produce a colorless solution (G). Treating G with an excess of NaOH produces a white precipitate (H). H dissolves in 1 M HNO3 to form a colorless solution. When the solution is slowly evaporated, a white solid (I) appears. On heating I, a brown gas is given off. Identify AI and write equations representing the reactions involved.
