Maalox is a common antacid that can be used to neutralize HCl . The active agent in Maalox is magnesium hydroxide,
Mg(OH)_(2). What is the balanced equation for magnesium hydroxide reacting with the HCl .
HCl+Mg(OH)_(2)longrightarrowMgCl_(2)+H_(2)O
2HCl+Mg(OH)_(2)longrightarrowMgCl_(2)+2H_(2)O
HCl+Mg(OH)_(2)longrightarrow2MgCl_(2)+2H_(2)O
2HCl+Mg(OH)_(2)longrightarrow2MgCl_(2)+H_(2)O
