Respuesta :

Antacids neutralize the hydrochloric acid in your stomach  the correct Neutralization reaction of stomach acid with milk of magnesia is

Mg(OH)2(s) + 2HCl(aq) ==> MgCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Heartburn, indigestion, and upset stomach can be treated with antacids, which neutralize stomach acid. Some antacids have been used to treat diarrhea and constipation. Marketed antacids include sodium, calcium, magnesium, or aluminum salts. Some medications have two salts in combination, like magnesium carbonate and aluminum hydroxide.

In a chemical reaction known as neutralization an acid and a base interact quantitatively. By neutralizing a reaction in water, surplus hydrogen or hydroxide ions are removed from the solution.

Because milk of magnesia is an alkaline suspension, anything acidic it comes into contact with triggers a neutralizing reaction. Because of this, when taken internally, it effectively combats excess stomach acid.
