Solution

The correct option is D

(CH3COO)2Mg


Vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid(CH3COOH). Vinegar typically contains 5–20% of acetic acid. So chemical X is acetic acid.

Milk of magnesia is a viscous, white, mildly alkaline solution of magnesium hydroxide(Mg(OH)2). So chemical Y is magnesium hydroxide.

Vinegar is made up of acid and milk of magnesia is made up of a base. A reaction in which acid and base react is called neutralization reaction. A neutralization reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and salt. The reaction between both the chemicals is given below.

2CH3COOH+Mg(OH)2(CH3COO)2Mg+2H2O
