<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The windward side</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

There are two sides of the mountain i.e windward side and leeward side. The windward side is that side of a mountain subject to the prevailing wind, and is thus the wetter side. When air reaches the mountain, it rises because the mountains are in the way. As the air rises, it cools, and because cool air can carry less moisture than warm air, there is usually snow or rainfall. So windward side cause rain or snow.

Answer: The correct answer is windward sides.

Explanation:

Sides of mountain:

Windward side: Area or side where high rainfall occurs. Wind prevailing loose their moisture on this side which leads to high rainfall on this side.
Leeward side : Area or side where low rainfall occurs.

Rain shadow is the dry area on the leeward sides of the mountainous area. As windward side blocks the moisture which prevents the rainfall on the Leeward sides.This effect is known as Rain shadow effect.

Liula [17]

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.
