Sodium Hydroxide is way too basic (very high pH) and would cause internal damage.
Sodium hydroxide is a strong base (fully dissolves in water) and is highly caustic. If it touches the skin it can cause severe chemical burns. Swallowing it can result in severe damage, often permanent, to the digestive tract and death. Magnesium hydroxide is a weak base (minimally dissolves in water). It cannot cause the damage that sodium hydroxide does.
how much sodium hydroxide in grams must be added to seawater to precipitate 86.9mg of magnesium present?
I found this at WikiPedia. It's pretty close. Magnesium Hydroxide is Milk of Magnesia. They show Magnesium Hydroxide from a magnesium salt: ----- The chemical formula of sodium hydroxide is NaOH. The chemical formula of magnesium hydroxide is Mg(OH)2.
you get a precipitate.
Magnesium Hydroxide since in the Solubility Rules it states that "All hydroxides are insoluable exceptcompounds of the alkali metals, Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+" and since Magnesium is not in any one of those on the list Hydroxide is insoluable and therefore the precipitate.
An antacid usually contains some sort of base. One antacid, milk of magnesia, is magnesium hydroxide. Other antacids include aluminum hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium bicarbonate.

Anti acids are basically composed by magnesium hydroxide. As they react with the chloridric acid, the excessive acid is neutralized. These are meant not to neutralize the whole acid, but only the exceeding acid.
I was wondering how to write a word equation of the reactions that occurred between the acid and the respective active ingredients of each of the different antacid powders.i used t he following acntacids;Gastrogel-Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium HydroxideSandocal-Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Lactate, GluconateRennie-Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium CarbonateMylanta Double-Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium HydroxideMylanta-Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium HydroxideDewitt's-Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Carbonate Sodium Bicarbonate Magnesium Hydroxide
Nothing. Pardon my frankness but magnesium won't react with sodium hydroxide because sodium hydroxide is a strong alkali. The reactivity series shows that sodium is stronger than magnesium so it won't react. Magnesium will reduce sodium hydroxide to sodium 2Mg + 2NaOH --> 2MgO + 2Na + H2
Bases are commonly used in household cleaning products, as they have properties that help to dissolve dirt and grease. They are also used in agriculture to balance soil pH levels for optimal plant growth. In laboratories, bases are utilized in processes such as titrations and in the production of pharmaceuticals.
Absolutely not. There is no sodium in that equation whatsoever.
Magnesium hydroxide, a precipitate, is formed.
An antacid contains hydroxides of magnesium and aluminium, bicarbonates of calcium and sodium.
Most antacids contain oxygen and some sort of metal (calcium, sodium, potassium, aluminum, and magnesium are common). Additionally, most will contain hydrogen (in Mg(OH)2 and Al(OH)3), carbon (in CaCO3), or both (in NaHCO3 and KHCO3).
Examples: sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, etc.
You would observe precipitation of magnesium hydroxide.
