How would I write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of aqueous hydrochloric acid with solid magnesium oxide?

The reactants should be HCL(aqHCl(aq) + MgO (s)MgO(s)

I first wrote OH^-1 OH^- and 2MgCl as the products and I was wrong.

How would I write it properly and why was my answer wrong?

I had the same problem wth with aqueous ethanoic acid reacting with solid zinc carbonate for which I wrote:CH(sub3)COOH+(aq)

CH₃COOH^+ZnCO(sub3)(aq) + ZnCO₃ --> CO(sub2) CO₂(g) + H(sub2)O (l) H₂O(l) + ZnCh(sub3)COO

andZnCH₃COO

And also, the reaction for aqueous sulfuric acid is neutralised by aquerous aqueous magnesium hydroxide

correct and .

Correct, answer and reason if I'm wrong please?

thanks

Thanks!
