15. a. Antacid is a substance which neutralizes stomach acidity (HCl) to relieve an upset stomach. The chemical used for such purpose normally is Mg(OH).. Write the balanced equation for the neutralization reaction b. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) can also serve the same purpose but it is seldom used this way. Explain why it is so by writing out the bala nced equation for the reactions.

Gold metal will not dissolve in either concentrated nitric acid or concentrated hydrochloric acid It will dissolve, however, in aqua regia, a mixture of the two concentrated acids. The products of the reaction are the AuCl4 ion and gaseous NO. Write a balanced equation for the dissolution of gold in aqua regia.
Magnesium metal (a component of alloys used in aircraft and a reducing agent used in the production of uranium, titanium, and other active metals) is isolated from sea water by the following sequence of reactions: Mg2+(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+Ca2+(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+2HCl(aq)MgCl2(s)+2H2O(l)MgCl2(l)electrolysisMg(s)+Cl2+Cl2(g) Sea water has a density of 1.026 g/cm3 and contains 1272 parts per million of magnesium a5 Mg2+(aq) by mass. What mass, in kilograms, of Ca(OH)2; is required to precipitate 99.9% of the magnesium in 1.00103 L of sea water?
Chlorine gas was first prepared in 1774 by C. W. Scheele by oxidizing sodium chloride with manganese(IV) oxide. The reaction is NaCl(aq)+H2SO4(aq)+MnO2(s)Na2SO4(aq)+MnCl2(aq)+H2O(l)+Cl2(g) Balance this equation.
Some of the substances commonly used in stomach antacids are MgO, Mg(OH)2, and Al(OH)3. a. Write a balanced equation for the neutralization of hydrochloric acid by each of these substances. b. Which of these substances will neutralize the greatest amount of 0.10 M HCl per gram?
60. Suppose 325 in L of 0.150 M NaOH is needed for your experiment. How would you prepare this if all that is available is a 1.01 M NaOH solution?
68. Aluminum ion may be precipitated from aqueous solution by addition of hydroxide ion, forming Al(OH)3. A large excess of hydroxide ion must not be added, however, because the precipitate of Al(OH)3 will redissolve as a soluble compound containing aluminum ions and hydroxide ions begins to form. How many grains of solid NaOH should be added to 10.0 mL of 0.250 M A1Cl3 to just precipitate all the aluminum?
Complete and balance the following acid-base equations: (a) A solution of HClO4 is added to a solution of LiOH. (b) Aqueous H2SO4 reacts with NaOH. (c) Ba(OH)2 reacts with HF gas.
Vitamin C has the formula C6H8O6. Besides being an acid, it is a reducing agent. One method for determining the amount of vitamin C in a sample is to titrate it with a solution of bromine, Br2, an oxidizing agent. C6H8O6(aq) + Br2(aq) 2 HBr(aq) + C6H6O6(aq) A 1.00-g "chewable" vitamin C tablet requires 27.85 ml of 0.102 M Br2 for titration to the equivalence point. What is the mass of vitamin C in the tablet?
4.112 A metallurgical firm wishes to dispose of 1300 gallons of waste sulfuric acid whose molarity is 1.37 M. Before disposal, it will be reacted with calcium hydroxide (slaked lime), which costs $0.23 per pound. (a) Write the balanced chemical equation for this process. (b) Determine the cost that the firm will incur from this use of slaked lime.
ow do chemists know that the ions behave independently of one another when an ionic solid is dissolved in water?
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), NaHCO3, can be purified by dissolving it in hot water (60 C), filtering to remove insoluble impurities, cooling to 0 C to precipitate solid NaHCO3, and then filtering to remove the solid, leaving soluble impurities in solution. Any NaHCO3 that remains in solution is not recovered. The solubility of NaHCO3 in hot water of 60 C is 164 g/L. Its solubility in cold water of 0 C is 69 g/L. What is the percent yield of NaHCO3 when ills purified by this method?
Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.
