Using some of the ideas from the class resources and textbook, make quantitative/qualitative comparisons of magnesium hydroxide and/or the related reaction described earlier. These comparisons can be to different compounds/reactions or to the same compound/reaction under different conditions. Include references to the specific class week/resource or textbook section/chapter as appropriate.
The following comparisons must be included:
a. Difference in state: How does the compound's use change in a different physical state or when mixed with other compounds at different concentrations?
b. Difference in the reactivity of the compound with the reactivity of a similar compound: Does more or less reactivity change the way in which it is used?
c. Change in the heat of reaction: Discuss the effects of changing the reaction temperature; for example, would the change make it unsafe, too slow, unstable, etc.?
d. Difference in the molecular weight of this compound compared to similar compounds: How does this difference affect properties (e.g., solubility) to change the range of uses?
