Answer:
Answer: b) Milk of Magnesia
Here's your answer buddy.
Please mark as brainliest.
Explanation:
Indigestion occurs due to too much amount of hydrochloric acid (HCl) produced in the stomach. So to neutralize the effect of the acid, we need a base. The hydroxide (basic) ions of Milk of Magnesia [Mg(OH)₂] reacts with acid to form salt and water. This is calles neutralization reaction and helps in relieving pain of indigestion.
The reaction is as follows:
2HCl+Mg(OH)₂ → Mg(Cl)₂ + 2H₂O
Also, why it won't be vinegar, lime water or aerated drink is because they are acids. Acid reacting with acid will only increase the pain rather than causing relief.
