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.

Three questions come along with the given statement. It is in Spanish language:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?


b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?


c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



These are the three answers (in English).



First question:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?



The question is Why did the outside of the bottle get wet?



Answer:



The outside of the bottle get wet because the ice cubes cooled the walls of the bottle, so the air surrounding the bottle also cooled.



The air contains humidity (water) in gas phase. The hotter the air the more the amount of humidity it can retain, the cooler the air the less the amount of humidity it can retain.


Then, when the air close to the walls of the bootle got cooler some of the water in the air became liquid and those are the drops of water that you see in the outside of the bottle.



Second question



b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?



The question is Why did the ice diminish its volume and now it is water?



Answer:




The ice diminished its volume and now it is water, becasue the ice, which is cooler than the surroundings, received heat energy (from the surroundings) and then its temperature increased. At some moment, this temperature reached the melting point of the ice (water) and it started to become liquid.



Third question



c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



The question is: Why can there be water outside?




Answer:



The water outside is outside since the beginning: it is in the air. You do not see it because it is gas state. When the air close to the walss of the bottle got cooler, part of the water in the air became liquid.

Find the natural abundance of Si-30.
nataly862011 [7]
<span> First you need to know how many isotopes there are of silicon, and its average atomic units (look at periodic table). Then make up a system of equations to solve for it. Theres 3 stable silicon isotopes (28, 29, 30) so you will need to have 3 equations. You must be given the percent abundance of at least one of the isotopes to solve because here I can only see 2 equations (numbered down below) set x = percent abundance of si-28 y = percent abundance of si-29 z = percent abundance of si-30 since all of silicon atoms account for 100% of all silicon: x + y + z = 100% = 1 therefore: 1) x = 1 - y - z You also have 2) 28x + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass you can substitute x so that equation becomes: 28 (1 - y - z) + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass See how you have 2 variables here? You cant go on until you know the value of one isotope already or you have given a clue which you can derive the third equation</span>

Which expression could represent the
Elis [28]
There are a couple of ways in which you can express the concentration of a solution, and here they are: gram per liter (g/L), molarity (M), parts per million (ppm.), and percents (%). 
As you can see, only M appears in your answers, which means that the correct option should be (2) 3.5 M.
