The active ingredient in Milk of Magnesia™ is Mg(OH)2. Magnesium hydroxide is insoluble in water, so the product is a mixture of

water, flavoring, and other ingredients to suspend the solid Mg(OH)2. When someone suffering from acid indigestion takes this drug, the Mg(OH)2 reacts with the HCl in the stomach. Classify this chemical reaction and write a balanced equation. (Include states of matter)

Answer:  This chemical reaction is a neutralization reaction between the Milk of Magnesia and the HCl from the stomach. The balanced equation is Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → MgCl2 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

Explanation:

The reaction between the HCl and the  Mg(OH)2 is a neutralizacion reaction ,  because the HCl is a strong acid and the  Mg(OH)2 is a weak base, then both react and the pH of the medium will increase, so the stomach trouble will dissapear.

Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → MgCl2 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

Magnesium hydroxide is a weak base due to its very limited solubility in water. This property is a great advantage when treating the excess of HCl in the stomach, because the Mg(OH)2 molecule does not dissociated  easily until it reacts with the  hydrogen ion, H+ of the HCl. So the effect of the  Mg(OH)2 will last longer until the annoyance dissapear.

Hydrogen is manufactured on an industrial scale by this sequence of reactions: Write an equation that gives the overall equilibr
RideAnS [48]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Hydrogen is manufactured on an industrial scale by this sequence of reactions:

$CH_3(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO(g) + 3H_2(g    ) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K_1$

$CO(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) + H_2(g) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  K_2$

The net reaction is  :

$CH_4(g) + 2H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) + 4H_2(g) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K$

Write an equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant K in terms of the equilibrium constants K_1 and K_2. If you need to include any physical constants, be sure you use their standard symbols, which you'll find in the ALEKS Calculator.

Solution :

$CH_3(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO(g) + 3H_2(g    ) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K_1$

$K_1 = \frac{[CO][H_2]^3}{[CH_4][H_2O]}$     ...............(1)

$CO(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) + H_2(g) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  K_2$

$K_2 = \frac{[CO_2][H_2]}{[CO][H_2O]}$  ...................(2)

$CH_4(g) + 2H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) + 4H_2(g) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ K$

$K=\frac{[CO_2][H_2]^4}{[CH_4][H_2O]^2}$

On multiplication of equation (1) and (2), we get

$K_1 \times K_2=\frac{[CO][H_2]^3}{[CH_4][H_2O]} \times \frac{[CO_2][H_2]}{[CO][H_2O]}$

$K_1K_2=\frac{[CO_2][H_2]^4}{[CH_4][H_2O]^2}$  .................(4)

Comparing equation (3) and equation (4), we get

$K=K_1K_2$

During a lab, you heat 1.62 g of a CoCl2 hydrate over a Bunsen burner. After heating, the final mass of the dehydrated compound
sashaice [31]
Answer is: formula of hydrate is CoCl₂· 6H₂O -c<span>obalt(II) chloride hexahydrate
</span>m(CoCl₂· xH₂O) = 1,62 g.
m(CoCl₂) = 0,88 g.
n(CoCl₂) = m(CoCl₂) ÷ M(CoCl₂)
n(CoCl₂) = 0,88 g ÷ 130 g/mol
n(CoCl₂) = 0,0068 mol.
m(H₂O) = 1,62 g - 0,88 g.
m(H₂O) = 0,74 g.
n(H₂O) = m(H₂O) ÷ m(H₂O) 
n(H₂O) = 0,74 g ÷ 18 g/mol
n(H₂O) = 0,041 mol.
n(CoCl₂) : n(H₂O) = 0,0068 mol : 0,041 mol.
n(CoCl₂) : n(H₂O) = 1 : 6.

What mass, in grams, of CO2 and H20 N<br> is formed from 2.55 mol of propane?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: The mass of CO_2 and H_2O produced are 336.6 g and 183.6 g respectively.

Explanation:

The combustion reaction between propane and oxygen leads to formation of carbon dioxide and water.

Law of Conservation of mass states that the mass will remain constant for a balanced equation. This is carried out when the total number of atoms on reactant side is same as the total number of atoms on the product side. Thus the equation must be balanced.

C_3H_8+5O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O

a) 1 mol of propane produces = 3 moles of CO_2

Thus 2.55 mol of propane produces = \frac{3}{1}\times 2.55=7.65 moles of [tex]CO_2

mass of CO_2=moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=7.65mol\times 44g/mol=336.6g

b) 1 mol of propane produces = 4 moles of H_2O

Thus 2.55 mol of propane produces = \frac{4}{1}\times 2.55=10.2 moles of [tex]H_2O

mass of H_2O=moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=10.2mol\times 18g/mol=183.6g

The mass of CO_2 and H_2O produced are 336.6 g and 183.6 g respectively.
