Equimolar quantities of magnesium carbonate and strontium carbonate are separately heated to bring about complete thermal decomposition. The minimum temperature for this to occur is called T_d. The cold residues are separately added to equal volumes of water and the change in pH is measured. The change in pH is called ∆pH. Which metal has the higher value of T_d, and the greater value of ∆pH?
✓ Correct answer
D: T_d Sr, ∆pH Sr
