12. When the human stomach produces too much hydrochloric acid (HCl) , a condition called indigestion creates a burning sensation in the stomach. One common product used to offset indigestion is Milk of Magnesia with the active ingredient magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)_(2)) The resulting reaction is predicted below: 2HCl(aq)+Mg(OH)_(2)(aq)arrow MgCl_(2)(aq)+2H_(2)O(l) What kind of reaction occurs when hydrochloric acid is neutralized with magnesium hydroxide? Synthesis E Combustion E Single replacement E Double replacement E

Question

12. When the human stomach produces too much hydrochloric acid (HCl) , a condition called indigestion creates a burning sensation in the stomach. One common product used to offset indigestion is Milk of Magnesia with the active ingredient magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)_(2)) The resulting reaction is predicted below: 2HCl(aq)+Mg(OH)_(2)(aq)arrow MgCl_(2)(aq)+2H_(2)O(l) What kind of reaction occurs when hydrochloric acid is neutralized with magnesium hydroxide? Synthesis E Combustion E Single replacement E Double replacement E

Answer 1

The given reaction is a neutralization reaction, which is a type of double replacement reaction. In this reaction, hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) to produce magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and water (H2O). This is a classic example of an acid-base reaction where an acid (HCl) reacts with a base (Mg(OH)2) to produce a salt (MgCl2) and water. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Double replacement.
