Magnesium +Hydrogen Phospahate

The reaction between Magnesium and Hydrogen Phosphate forms Magnesium Hydrogen Phosphate

Explanation:

When magnesium reacts with hydrogen phosphate it forms an ionic compound called Magnesium Hydrogen Phosphate or Dimagnesium Phosphate.

Magnesium Hydrogen Phosphate is an ionic compound with the formula HMgO4P.

Equation;

Mg + HPO4 ------> HMgO4P

Similarly we can use Magnesium Phosphate to demonstrate the reaction.

In chemistry, the sum of charges of the anion and the cation of any ionic compound is always equal to zero.

To determine the number of anion and cation required for the sum to be zero we simply use the criss-cross method. This involves taking the charge of one ion and making the absolute value of that charge to be the amount of the other ion.

Therefore, Magnesium having a charge of 2+; we will have two(2) Phosphate cations for it.

Also, Phosphate has a charge of 3-; so we have three(3) Magnesium cations.

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
