Write the neutralization equation that would take place in the stomach with two different bases used in antacid products

1 answer:

5 0

In order for the human being stomach to digest food, it uses hydrochloric acid (HCl). This is a very effective an dstrong acid that can burn the lining of the stomach and even cause ulcer if this lining does not contain enough mucus.

Back on track, a reaction between an acid and a base usually yields a salt and water. The two bases that we will use in the reaction with HCl are Mg(OH)2 and CaCO3 (note that (OH)- and (CO3)- both define basis)
MAKE SURE TO BALANCE YOU EQUATION, WHERE THE NUMBER OF MOLECULES ENTERING SHOULD BE EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF MOLECULES RESULTING.

Equation #1:
2HCl + Mg(OH)2 --> 2H2O + MgCl2
MgCl2 is the salt
Equation#2:
2HCl + CaCO3 --> H2O + CO2 + CaCl2
CaCl2 is the salt
Carbon dioxide is formed as a result of the additional carbon carbon, the reaction ideally outputs H2CO3 which is a very weak base the breaks into water and CO2

Which of the following is not equal to 485 L?

ELEN [110]

Answer:

$4.85 * 10^4\ mL$

Explanation:

Given

485 L

Required

Determine the measurement not equal to 485L

$0.485\ kL$

From standard unit of conversion;

1 KL = 1000 L

Multiply both sides by 485

$485 * 1 KL = 485 * 1000 L$

$485KL = 485000L$

Divide both sides by 1000

$\frac{485KL}{1000} = \frac{485000L}{1000}$

$0.485KL = 485L$ ---- This is equivalent

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$4.85 * 10^4\ mL$

From standard unit of conversion;

1000 mL = 1 L

Multiply both sides by 485

$485 * 1000 mL = 1 L * 485$

$485000\ mL = 485\ L$

Convert to standard form

$4.85 * 10^5\ mL = 485\ L$

Hence; $4.85 * 10^4\ mL$ is not equivalent to 485L

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$48500 \ cL$

From standard unit of conversion;

100 cL = 1 L

Multiply both sides by 485

$485 * 100 cL = 1 L * 485$

$48500\ cL = 485\ L$

Convert to standard form

$4.85 * 10^4\ cL = 485\ L$ ---- This is equivalent

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$4.85 * 10^8 \$ μL

From standard unit of conversion;

1000000 μL = 1 L

Multiply both sides by 485

$485 * 1000000uL = 1 L * 485$

$485000000uL = 485\ L$

Convert to standard form

$4.85 * 10^8\ uL = 485\ L$ ---- This is equivalent

From the list of given options;

$4.85 * 10^4\ mL$ is not equivalent to 485L

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

C. The product must solve the problem for which it was designed.

Explanation:

Technological design is the study, development and application of technological process with the intent of designing a product to solve required problem.The process could be based on the use of a computer.

Generally, technological process and development always tend to design a problem solver product. Through this process, more new technologies are produced.

Therefore in technological process, the product must solve the problem for which it was designed.
