This represents the series of reactions where magnesium (Mg) undergoes oxidation to form magnesium oxide (MgO), which then reacts with water to form magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), and finally reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form magnesium chloride (MgCl2).
The balanced chemical equation for the above reactions is as follows:
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
MgO + H2O → Mg(OH)2
Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2H2O
