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.

The  molarity of the solution is 0.1625M.

<h3>What do you meant by Molarity</h3>

Molarity is the amount of a substance in a certain volume of solution. Molarity is  defined as the moles of solute per litres of a solution .

Molarity → no of moles / Volume (L)

SI unit of Molarity is M or mol/ L

We have given here the mass of solution is 3.10×10²g .

molality of the solution is 0.125m

Molality → no of moles / mass in kg

→  0.125×3.10×10²/ 1000

→ no.of moles = 0.0162

For  molarity we can assume volume as 1000 ml .

Molarity = 0.0162×1000/ 100

 Molarity →0.162 M.

So, the molarity of solution will be 0.162M.

A eudiometer contains a 65.0 ml sample of a gas collected
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

53.1 mL

Explanation:

Let's assume an ideal gas, and at the Standard Temperature and Pressure are equal to 273 K and 101.325 kPa.

For the ideal gas law:

P1*V1/T1 = P2*V2/T2

Where P is the pressure, V is the volume, T is temperature, 1 is the initial state and 2 the final state.

At the eudiometer, there is a mixture between the gas and the water vapor, thus, the total pressure is the sum of the partial pressure of the components. The pressure of the gas is:

P1 = 92.5 - 2.8 = 89.7 kPa

T1 = 23°C + 273 = 296 K

89.7*65/296 = 101.325*V2/273

101.325V2 = 5377.45

V2 = 53.1 mL

The chemical equation shows the production of magnesium chloride.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1 gram of H2 will be produced from 12 grams of Mg.

Explanation:

According to Stoichiometry, 0.5 moles of Mg are present. 1 mole of Mg produces 1 mole of H2, so 0.5 moles of Mg will produce 0.5 moles of H2. Multiplying molar mass of H2 i.e. 2 gram/mole with 0.5 moles, we can find the mass of H2 in grams which is 1 gram.
