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.

Many repeating, simple subunits are joined together. What is the most likely
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

O a polymer

Explanation:

When many repeating simple subunits are joined together, this results into a polymer.

The simplest unit or smallest unit of any substance is called a monomer. When many units of a monomer joins together, a polymer results.

  • For proteins, the monomeric unit is amino-acid.
  • When they combine they form longer chain molecules called proteins.
  • For carbohydrates, the monomeric unit is called glucose.
  • When they are combined they give us a wide range of carbohydrate molecules.

Ammonia gas combines with excess oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water. How many grams of ammonia gas would have to react
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

11.6g of NH₃(g) have to react

Explanation:

For the reaction:

4 NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g) ΔH = -905kJ

<em>4 moles of ammonia produce 905kJ</em>

Thus, if you want to produce 154kJ of energy you need:

154kJ × (4 mol NH₃ / 905kJ) = <em>0.681moles of NH₃. </em>In mass -Molar mass ammonia is 17.031g/mol-

0.681mol NH₃ × (17.031g / mol) = <em>11.6g of NH₃(g) have to react</em>
