What happens when you take a antacid tablet?
it contains a base (alkali) and so helps to neutralise excess stomach acid.
What do you get when you mix iron3 nitrate with sodium hydroxide?
precipitated Fe(OH)3 = ferric hydroxide or Fe(OH)4-(aq) = ferrate anion in solution, when in excess of hydroxide
How do you convert an acid to a base?
Increase the hydroxide concentration in the acid by adding an excess of any alkali solution
Is stomach ache medicine acidic or alkaline?
Alkaline. Magnesium Hydroxide (commonly known as Milk of Magnesia) is usually used to treat excess stomach acidity.
Why do the solution of the white precipitate of Zinc hydroxide dissolve in excess of Ammonium hydroxide?
Ammonium hydroxide dissolves anything that is less strong than itself. The white precipitate of zinc hydroxide is not the whole component. Therefore, it is not as strong.

The products are magnesium chloride and water.
How do you convert an acid to a base?

What is the predicted effect on the reaction of zinc nitrate and excess sodium hydroxide?
The reaction of zinc nitrate and excess sodium hydroxide begins with precipitation of zinc hydroxide ( Zn(OH)2 ), followed by dissolvement after adding excess sodium hydroxide ( 2 OH- ) to formation of zinc aat-ions ( [Zn(OH)4]2- )
What is the solution that contains more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions?
If it is in water (supposedly meant by questioneer), the pH value is below 7.0, so it is an acid solution: more H+ than OH-
Name a salt which gives white precipitate on ammonium hydroxide solution and is insoluble in excess?
One such salt would be aluminum chloride since it is soluble but when reacted with ammonium hydroxide, the insoluble aluminum hydroxide forms a precipitate. Not sure what is meant by "is insoluble in excess", however.
Anti-acid indigestion tablets contain magnesium hydroxide or calcium carbonate. How do they work?
Both of these substances are alkaline and they react with excess acid in the stomach to produce a Calcium or Magnesium salt solution and Carbon dioxide gas.
