Hi all

I was wondering how to write a word equation of the reactions that occurred between the acid and the respective active ingredients of each of the different antacid powders.
I used t he following acntacids;

Gastrogel-Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium Hydroxide
Sandocal-Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Lactate, Gluconate
Rennie-Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Carbonate
Mylanta Double-Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium Hydroxide
Mylanta-Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium Hydroxide
Dewitt’s-Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Carbonate Sodium Bicarbonate Magnesium Hydroxide

Thanks heaps

Also beacause I don't know how to edit my question I would like to add that we out the tablets and liquids into hydroclorich acid.

Gastrogel-Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium Hydroxide
Sandocal-Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Lactate, Gluconate
Rennie-Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Carbonate
Mylanta Double-Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium Hydroxide
Mylanta-Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium Hydroxide
Dewitt's-Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Carbonate Sodium Bicarbonate Magnesium Hydroxide


One of the problems with word problems is figuring out the composition. It's easy, however, if you Google it.

Magnesium hydroxide = Mg(OH)2; Aluminum hydroxide = Al(OH)3

Google magnesium hydroxide (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=magnesium+hydroxide)

Google aluminum hydroxide (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=aluminum+hydroxide)

You should be able to do the others.

(p.s.: Hydrochloric acid)

This is sooo ****ing gay. I have no idea about this ****

There is no need to be so rude just because you don't understand this doesn't mean there aren't other people who do. You are not the only person in the world

This is a bit complicating but here are two:
NaCHO3 + HCl -----► H2O + NaCl + CO2
Mg(OH)2 + 2 HCl --> MgCl2 + 2 H2O
I don't know what they are for
Sorry
