There are two valence electrons in a single atom of magnesium.
<h2>Answer and Explanation </h2>
The body of water means the occurrence of water on earth’s surface. Examples are oceans, lakes, seas, ponds, and pools. The major bodies of water are:
- Pacific ocean is the biggest and deepest of Earth's oceanic divisions. It stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the direction to the Southern Ocean.
- Atlantic ocean is another giant of the world's oceans. It includes nearly 20 percent of the Earth's exterior and nearly 29 percent of its water covering space.
- The Indian Ocean is the third largest Ocean in the world. It is surrounded by Asia, Africa, and Australia.
- Arctic ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five main oceans.
- Mediterranean sea is a sea is attached to the Atlantic Ocean.
Reaction:

Magnesium is a stronger reducing agent than copper and is thus able to reduce copper(II) oxide.
Products of the reaction: Magnesium oxide and metallic copper.
Answer:
Base Mg(OH)2 does neutralise the acid and is 12g in excess.
Explanation:
2HCL +Mg(OH)2 -> MgCl2 + 2H20
2 * 36.458 g of HCL react with 58.319 g of Mg(OH)2 to neutralise it.
72.916 HCl reacts with 58.319 g of the base.
So 20 g HCl reacts with (58.319/72.916) * 20 = 16g.
There are 28 g of Mg(OH)2 so the base does neutralise all the acid.
The Mg(OH)2 is 28 - 16 = 12 g in excess.
