It was found the optimum amount of hydrochloric acid added to the solution to make it neutral was 8.25 mL.
Reactions:
Mg(OH)2(s) <-> Mg2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)
H+(aq) + OH-(aq) -> H2O(l)
The Magnesium Hydroxide is normally basic. The introduction of HCl makes the reaction shift right or forward so basic OH- neutralizes the acidic H+ making the overall reaction more acidic. When adding more magnesium hydroxide the reaction shifts left or reverse because less magnesium hydroxide needs to disassociate to neutralize the H+.
