Excess stomach acid is often treated with milk of magnesia Mg(OH)2 or a similar substance. The chemical reaction that takes place in your stomach, in this case would be: Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2HOH The equation represents a reaction

acid-base reaction (neutralisation reaction)

Explanation:

acid is the HCL, base or proton acceptor is the magnesium-hidroxide

chemical digestion occurs in the stomach were hcl and pepsin forms chyme, the mouth in which salivary amylase breaks down starch to form bolus, and the small intestine specifically the duodenum.

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
