1) The products would include a new acid and a new base
2) The products would be an aquaeous salt and water
3) The reactants would both have a pH of 7
4) The products would have a pH of more than 7
5) The products would be magnesium oxide and hydrogen sulfide
Help is greatly appreciated!

sulfuric acid = H2SO4
magnesium hydroxide = Mg(OH)2
H2SO4 + Mg(OH)2 --> MgSO4 + 2H2O
H2O = water, which is a liquid...it's pH is around 7
MgSO4 (epsom salt) is slightly soluble/aqueous.
Answer: #2

reaction between a traditional acid and tradition base produces water and a salt
1 - not true for traditional a/b reaction
2 - true
3 - not true because pH 7 is usually neutral: you are reacting an acid and a base so they can not be neutral
4 - not true because reactions between strong acids and weak bases usually produce acidic salts (solutions with pH slightly lower than 7)
5 - not true: double replacement reaction; the magnesium from the base goes with the sulfate from the acid.
