The correct answers are as follows: 1. MgSO4 + 2NH4OH = [NH4]2SO4 + Mg[OH]2. This chemical equation implies that, one molecule of magnesium sulphate react with two molecules of ammonium hydroxide to give rise to one molecule of ammonium sulphate and one molecule of magnesium hydroxide. 2. The reaction between magnesium sulphate and ammonia is a DOUBLE REPLACEMENT REACTION. A double replacement reaction is a type of reaction in which the two chemical substances which take part in the reaction switch their ions in such a way that two new products are formed. In the reaction of magnesium sulphate and ammonia, the magnesium sulphate gives its SO4 ion to ammonia and take the OH ion of the ammonia instead. 3. The epsom salt and the ammonia reacted. This is made obvious by the chemical reaction which was generated by their combination. On the edge of the penny used, one can see that there is a colour change, this shows that a chemical reaction occur.
