Write a balanced equation for the neutralization between a dilute solution of HC

Question

Write a balanced equation for the neutralization between a dilute solution of HCl and an antacid tablet (which contains calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide). Write a separate reaction for each of the two active ingredients in the antacid. Include any side reaction that may occur Write a balanced equation for the neutralization between a dilute solution of HCl and an antacid tablet (which contains calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide). Write a separate reaction for each of the two active ingredients in the antacid. Include any side reaction that may occur

Explanation / Answer

Solution :-

In the neutralization reaction acid and base reacts to form salt and water as the products of the reaction

1) Reaction of HCl and calcium carbonate

2HCl(aq) + CaCO3(s) ------- > CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

2) Reaction of HCl and magnesium hydroxide is as follows

2HCl (aq) + Mg(OH)2 ----- > MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
