Question

Part B One chewable tablet of the antacid Maalox contains 600, mg of CaCO3. Enter the neutralization equation. Express your answer ass a molecular equation including phases. ANSWER

Please make sure the answer clearly is written, for example (ANS=0.00). Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Answer -

Antacids neutralizes excess stomach acid i.e. HCl (aq).

Part B -

Given,

600 mg of CaCO₃

Neutralization reaction = ?

CaCO₃ (s) +  HCl (aq) $\rightarrow$  CaCl2(aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g) [Unbalanced]

1 CaCO₃ (s) + 2 HCl (aq) $\rightarrow$ 1 CaCl2(aq) + 1 H₂O (l) + 1 CO₂ (g) [Balanced] [Answer]

Part D -

Given,

400 mg of Mg(OH)₂

Neutralization reaction = ?

Mg(OH)₂ (s) +  HCl (aq) → MgCl₂(aq) +  H₂O (l) [UnBalanced]

Mg(OH)₂ (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + 2 H₂O (l) [Balanced] [Answer]
