neutralization reaction

Question

Maalox and Mylanta are both antacids that contain aluminum hydroxide as their active ingredient. Write the balanced equation for the neutralization of hydrochloric acid with aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH)3. Include physical states.

neutralization reaction:

Answer 1

Aluminum hydroxide = Al(OH)3

Hydrochloric acid = HCl

Neutralization reaction:

3HCl(aq) + Al(OH)₃((s) ==> AlCl₃(aq) + 3H₂O(l) ... balanced neutralization reaction
