Magnesium hydroxide is an ingredient in some antacids. Antacids react with excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach to relieve indigestion.
a) balance the reaction that occurs between Mg(OH)2 and HCI.
(select choice) Mg(OH)2 + (select choice) HCI = (select choice) MgCl2 + (blank) H2O

b) what are the mole ratios that would be used to determine the number of moles of MgCl2 produced when HCl reacts with Mg(OH)2.
(blank) mol MgCl2/ (blank) mol Mg(OH)2
(blank) mol MgCl2/ (blank) mol HCI

a. 2HCl + 1Mg(OH)2 → 1MgCl2 + 2H2O

b. 1 mol MgCl2/ 1 mol Mg(OH)2

1 mol MgCl2/ 2 mol HCI

Explanation:

a. The reaction of an acid (HCl) with a base (Mg(OH)2) produce water (H2O) and the salt (MgCl2):

_HCl + _Mg(OH)2 → _MgCl2 + _H2O

To balance the Cl:

2HCl + _Mg(OH)2 → _MgCl2 + _H2O

To balance the oxygen:

2HCl + _Mg(OH)2 → _MgCl2 + 2H2O

The reaction is now balanced

2HCl + 1Mg(OH)2 → 1MgCl2 + 2H2O

b. Based on the balanced reaction, the moles ratios are:

1 mol MgCl2/ 1 mol Mg(OH)2

1 mol MgCl2/ 2 mol HCI

how to make a simple air condition

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
