1. Mr. Tanner had heartburn, which is an indicator of too much acid in the stomach, that moves up into the throat. He took some Milk of Magnesia, an antacid which
helps to make the acid less acidic and burn less in the throat. The chemical
reaction combines to produce water (H,0) and magnesium (Mg). The balanced
chemical equation identifies the reactants, the products, and the masses for each
one. (S8P18)
Mg(OH)2 + 2H - 2H2O + Mg
58 g + 29 → ? + 24 g

20 g
A.
16 g
B.
C. 329
D. 36 g
