Magnesium carbonate, Mg CO3 (archaic name magnesia alba), is an inorganic salt that is a white solid.Several hydrated and basic forms of magnesium carbonate also exist as minerals.orms [edit]. The most common magnesium carbonate forms are the anhydrous salt called magnesite (MgCO 3) and the di, tri, and pentahydrates known as barringtonite (MgCO 3 Â·2 H 2 O), nesquehonite (MgCO 3 Â·3 H 2 O), and lansfordite (MgCO 3 Â·5 H 2 O), respectively.
Reaction type: Nucleophilic Substitution (SN1 or SN2). Summary: 1  When treated with HBr or HCl alcohols typically undergo a nucleophilic substitution reaction to generate an alkyl halide and water.eaction of Alcohols with other Halogenating agents (SOCl2, PX3). Reaction type: Nucleophilic Substitution (SN1 or SN2). Summary: 1  Alcohols can also be converted to alkyl chlorides using thionyl chloride, SOCl2, or phosphorous trichloride, PCl3.
37. Statements:(1) The simplest aldehyde is formaldehyde and the simplest ketone is acetone.(2) Carbonyl group polarity makes dipole-dipole interactions between like aldehyde molecules or like ketone molecules possible.(3) Reaction of a hemiacetal with an alcohol produces an acetal.ydrolysis of an acetal in an acid solution would yieldA) an aldehyde, a ketone, and one alcohol.B) an aldehyde, a ketone, and two alcohols.C) an aldehyde or a ketone and one alcohol.D) an aldehyde or a ketone and two alcohols.
