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
The reaction of an antacid tablet with hydrochloric acid is typically exothermic, meaning it releases heat. This is because the reaction between the tablet and acid produces energy in the form of heat.
The reaction between antacid tablets and hydrochloric acid is classed as an acid-base reaction, and is also called a neutralisation reaction. The base or alkali in the reaction is in the antacid tablet. These reactions produce a salt (not necessarily table salt NaCl) and water.
Dissolving an antacid tablet in water can have an endothermic effect, meaning it absorbs heat from the surroundings and lowers the temperature of the water. This happens because the reaction between the antacid and water requires energy to break the bonds in the tablet and dissolve it.
When an antacid tablet dissolves in water, it undergoes a chemical change. The active ingredients in the tablet, like calcium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide, react with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) to neutralize it, forming salt and water. This chemical reaction helps to relieve acidity in the stomach.
It is a chemical change. Depending on the antacid, the active ingredient in the tablet (which is a base) will react with the hydrochloric acid to produce water, a salt, and sometimes carbon dioxide.
It can take a few minutes to fully dissolve an antacid tablet in salt water, depending on the size of the tablet and the concentration of salt in the water. The effervescence of the antacid tablet will help to speed up the dissolution process.
An example: 2HCl + Mg(OH)2 = MgCl2 + 2H2O
Riopan Plus is an antacid that comes in both liquid and tablet form. Riopan Plus is an antacid that comes in both liquid and tablet form. Riopan Plus is an antacid that comes in both liquid and tablet form.
Chemical reactions can't truly be reversed in any way. Separating the antacid tablet's contents from the water may be possible, but the material won't be a single, whole tablet again, and might not even be a single material at that point.
When an antacid tablet dissolves in water, the tablet breaks apart into its individual molecules and ions. Some of these molecules and ions interact with water molecules, forming chemical bonds that result in the release of gas. This gas is then released into the air, causing the decrease in mass of the water and tablet system.
No, antacid tablets contain ingredients such as calcium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide that react with stomach acid to neutralize it. Nitrogen gas is not a byproduct of this reaction.
When an antacid tablet dissolves in water, it is a chemical reaction. The tablet reacts with the water to neutralize excess stomach acid, which changes the chemical composition of both the tablet and the water.
