The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between nitrous acid (HNO2) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) to form magnesium nitrite (Mg(NO2)2) and water (H2O) is as follows:
2HNO2 + Mg(OH)2 → Mg(NO2)2 + 2H2O
This balanced equation indicates that two moles of nitrous acid react with one mole of magnesium hydroxide to produce one mole of magnesium nitrite and two moles of water.
