i) Milk of magnesia is used for treatment of acidity in stomach.
- Milk of magnesia is used to treat indigestion.
- This contains magnesium hydroxide when reacted with excess hydrochloric acid present in the stomach produces magnesium chloride.
- Magnesium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid → Magnesium chloride [1] + water [1]
ii) Industrial development of any country is measured on the basis of consumptions of sulphuric acid.
- Sulfuric acid is one of the largest-volume industrial chemicals produced in the world.
- We use sulfuric acid in everything that we consume. It is used in batteries, ore processing, paint, fertilizer, steel production and water treatment. It is a building block for a number of products like nylon, fertilizers - especially phosphate fertilizers from wet-process phosphoric acid and we even pickle our food with it.
