Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the reactants and products

The reaction involves sulfuric acid (\(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}\)) and magnesium hydroxide (\(\mathrm{Mg(OH)_2}\)).

Step 2: Write the unbalanced equation

The unbalanced equation for the reaction is: \[ \mathrm{H_2SO_4} + \mathrm{Mg(OH)_2} \rightarrow \mathrm{MgSO_4} + \mathrm{H_2O} \]

Step 3: Balance the equation

To balance the equation, ensure the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides: \[ \mathrm{H_2SO_4} + \mathrm{Mg(OH)_2} \rightarrow \mathrm{MgSO_4} + 2 \mathrm{H_2O} \]

Step 4: Compare with given options

Compare the balanced equation with the provided options:

  1. \(\mathrm{HSO}_{4}+2 \mathrm{MgOH} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{MgSO}_{4}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
  2. \(2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+\mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{MgSO}_{4}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
  3. \(\mathrm{HSO}_{4}+\mathrm{MgOH} \rightarrow \mathrm{MgSO}_{4}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
  4. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}+\mathrm{Mg}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{MgSO}_{4}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
Step 5: Identify the correct option

The correct balanced equation is: \[ \mathrm{H_2SO_4} + \mathrm{Mg(OH)_2} \rightarrow \mathrm{MgSO_4} + 2 \mathrm{H_2O} \] This matches option 4.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{The answer is the fourth one.}}\)
