    Hydrochloric Acid

    Uploaded by

    Ahmed Nasr
    The document describes an experiment where hydrochloric acid is reacted with magnesium carbonate from indigestion tablets. It produces carbon dioxide gas which causes fizzing. The fizzing stops once the magnesium carbonate is used up. Magnesium chloride and carbon dioxide are produced. Hydrochloric acid is needed in the stomach to digest food.

    (b) Indigestion can be caused when too much hydrochloric acid is produced in
    the stomach.
    Magnesium carbonate can be used to treat indigestion.

    Winston crushed some indigestion tablets containing magnesium carbonate.


    He added them to hydrochloric acid in a test-tube. The mixture fizzed.

    The word equation for the reaction is shown below.

    magnesium + hydrochloric → magnesium + carbon + water


    carbonate acid chloride dioxide

    (i) Use the word equation to explain why the mixture fizzed when the
    reaction took place.
