The chemical reaction that occurs when an antacid is prescribed to treat indigestion is represented by the formula: Mg(OH)2 + HCl -> MgCl2 + H2O. Other than water, what compound is produced from this reaction?
Magnesium Chloride is the compound produced from this reaction, other than water.
In the given chemical reaction, magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and water (H2O). This is a typical acid-base reaction where the acid (HCl) reacts with a base (Mg(OH)2) to produce a salt (MgCl2) and water.
This is the correct answer. The chemical reaction shows that magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and water (H2O). This is a typical acid-base reaction.
Magnesium hydride is not a product of the given reaction. The reaction doesn't involve hydrogen gas (H2), which is necessary for the formation of magnesium hydride (MgH2).
Magnesium hydroxide is a reactant, not a product of the given reaction. It reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and water (H2O).
Hydrochloric acid is a reactant, not a product of the given reaction. It reacts with magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) to form magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and water (H2O).
The chemical reaction between magnesium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid results in the formation of magnesium chloride and water. The only compounds formed are magnesium chloride and water, with magnesium chloride being the salt formed in this typical acid-base reaction. The other options, magnesium hydride, magnesium hydroxide, and hydrochloric acid, are either reactants or not involved in the reaction at all.
