Answer:
Mg(OH)₂(s) + 2HCl(aq) ----> MgCl₂(aq) + 2H₂O(l)
Explanation:
Magnesium hydroxide is a white solid that is sparingly soluble in water. It is a basic hydroxide, therefore it neutralizes acids to form salt and water.
Magnesium hydroxide commonly used as an antacid, for example milk of magnesia, because it reduces stomach acid, and increases water in the intestines which may induce bowel movements. It also relieves indigestion, sour stomach, and heartburn. Magnesium hydroxide is also used as a laxative to relieve occasional constipation.
The equation for the reaction between magnesium hydroxide and stomach acid, HCl, is as follows:
Mg(OH)₂(s) + 2HCl(aq) ----> MgCl₂(aq) + 2H₂O(l)
A + BC ---> AB + C
So here one reactant (A) is accepting a group which is being given by another compound (BC) however the A is not giving any group / element or ion
So this single displacement
Similarly in the given reaction
the anion OH- is only being replaced
The element Ca accepts OH- and H2O loses the same group to form new element H2
So the correct answer is
Single replacement also known as single displacement.
Answer:
Alpha decay
Explanation:
Observing the question given, we discovered that the mass number of 240 94 Pu reduced by 4 and the atomic number reduce by 2 in the product obtained from the reaction. This clearly indicates that 240 94 Pu is undergoing alpha decay because atoms that ungoes alpha decay has a decrease of 4 in the mass number and a decrease 2 in the atomic number.
