The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct example of ionization among the given options is Mg(OH)\u2082 \u2192 Mg\u00b2\u207a + 2OH\u207b<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ionization<\/strong> refers to the process where an atom or a molecule gains or loses electrons, resulting in the formation of charged particles called ions. This process is crucial in various chemical reactions, especially in the context of acids, bases, and salts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the example of magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)\u2082), the compound dissociates into its constituent ions when it dissolves in water:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[ \\text{Mg(OH)}_2 \\rightarrow \\text{Mg}^{2+} + 2 \\text{OH}^{-} ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this reaction, magnesium hydroxide ionizes to produce magnesium ions (Mg\u00b2\u207a) and hydroxide ions (OH\u207b). This is a classic example of ionization in an inorganic salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparison with Other Options:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. C + O\u2082 \u2192 CO\u2082<\/strong>: This represents a combustion reaction where carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. It is not an ionization process because there is no formation of ions; it is simply a molecular combination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. H\u2082O + CO\u2082 \u2192 H\u2082CO\u2083<\/strong>: Here, carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid (H\u2082CO\u2083). Although this involves the interaction of molecules, it does not lead to the formation of ions directly; therefore, it is not an example of ionization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. H\u2082O + CO\u2082 \u2192 SO\u2082 + H\u2082O<\/strong>: This is not a valid reaction, as sulfur dioxide (SO\u2082) does not form from the reaction of water and carbon dioxide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. HSO\u2083\u207b + H\u207a<\/strong>: While this involves ions (the bisulfite ion and a proton), it is not a process of ionization; it represents an acid-base reaction instead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In conclusion, ionization is a fundamental concept in chemistry, particularly significant in understanding the behavior of acids and bases in solution. The breakdown of Mg(OH)\u2082 into Mg\u00b2\u207a and OH\u207b clearly exemplifies this process, making it the correct choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
