When magnesium oxide is added to water, what is the nature of the resulting aqueous mixture?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Basic

Magnesium oxide reacts with water to form magnesium hydroxide: \(\mathrm{MgO + H_2O \rightarrow Mg(OH)_2}\). Magnesium hydroxide is basic, so the resulting aqueous mixture is basic in nature. A neutral mixture has neither acidic nor basic properties, whereas the hydroxide formed here shows basic behaviour.
