Milk of magnesia, an over-the-counter antacid liquid, is a suspension of magnesium hydroxide in water. It neutralizes the hydrochloric acid in the stomach to alleviate some stomach symptoms associated with excess acid. In a laboratory, 1.16 g Mg(OH)2 is added to 236.0 mL of 0.1647 M HCl in water. They react according to the following equation. Mg(OH)2 + 2 HCl → MgCl2 + 2 H2O (a) What is the limiting reagent in this reaction?   (b) How much magnesium chloride is produced?
