Title: reaction between magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid Post by: oldcollegelady on Sep 20, 2010 Hello,
The question is as follows that I need to know to study for my exam. Rolaids is an antacid which contains magnesium hydroxide. Using this information, write the reaction that shows what happens when you take a Rolaids tablet to combat excess hydrochloric acid in your stomach. would the answer be: HCl + Mg(OH)2 ------> MgCl + 2 H2O ??????? :-\ ::) thanks Title: Re: reaction between magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid Post by: bio_man on Sep 20, 2010 Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2 HCl (aq) > MgCl2 (aq) + 2H2O (l)
Should look more like this. I hope you get an A. Title: Re: reaction between magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid Post by: oldcollegelady on Sep 21, 2010 thank you! :)
