Correct answer: B. Soluble in water to give neutral solution of ph 7
- A. Insoluble
- B. Soluble in water to give neutral solution of ph 7
- C. Soluble in water to give acidic solution of ph 1
- D. Soluble in water to give alkaline solution of ph 14
Explanation
The correct description for the metal chlorides formed when alkali metals react with chlorine gas is B. Soluble in water to give a neutral solution of pH 7.

Magnesium oxide is used in the making of the lining of the blast furnace.It is extracted from seawater as follows. Aqueous seawater is added to seawater. Ca(OH)2(aq)+MgCl2 (aq)-------->Mg (OH)2(s) + CaCl2 (aq). The magnesium hydroxide is then filtered off and roasted. Which of the following comparisons between calcium and magnesium explains why magnesium hydroxide forms?
