What is hydrochloric acid magnesium reaction called?
The reaction of Hydrochloric acid (HCl) with Magnesium most often occurs when Magnesium Hydroxide, or Mg(OH)2 in a water suspension (Milk of Magnesia) is ingested to neutralize stomach acid, which contains some Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). When it happens in this context, it is called an Acid-Base Neutralization reaction, where HCl is the acid, and Mg(OH)2 is the base. In any acid-base reaction, the products will be a salt and water (H2O). In this case, Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) and H2O are produced, and thus both acid and base are neutralized.
