Magnesium hydroxide is an ingredient in some antacids. Antacids react with excess hydrochloric acid in the stomach to relieve indigestion.
a) balance the reaction that occurs between Mg(OH)2 and HCI.
(select choice) Mg(OH)2 + (select choice) HCI = (select choice) MgCl2 + (blank) H2O

b) what are the mole ratios that would be used to determine the number of moles of MgCl2 produced when HCl reacts with Mg(OH)2.
(blank) mol MgCl2/ (blank) mol Mg(OH)2
(blank) mol MgCl2/ (blank) mol HCI

a. 2HCl + 1Mg(OH)2 → 1MgCl2 + 2H2O

b. 1 mol MgCl2/ 1 mol Mg(OH)2

1 mol MgCl2/ 2 mol HCI

Explanation:

a. The reaction of an acid (HCl) with a base (Mg(OH)2) produce water (H2O) and the salt (MgCl2):

_HCl + _Mg(OH)2 → _MgCl2 + _H2O

To balance the Cl:

2HCl + _Mg(OH)2 → _MgCl2 + _H2O

To balance the oxygen:

2HCl + _Mg(OH)2 → _MgCl2 + 2H2O

The reaction is now balanced

2HCl + 1Mg(OH)2 → 1MgCl2 + 2H2O

b. Based on the balanced reaction, the moles ratios are:

1 mol MgCl2/ 1 mol Mg(OH)2

1 mol MgCl2/ 2 mol HCI

explanation:

in cartography, a contour line (often just called a "contour") joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. a contour map is a map illustrated with contour lines, for example a topographic map, which thus shows valleys and hills, and the steepness or gentleness of slopes.
