Write balanced equations for the reaction of Al(OH)3 with stomach acid (HCl). Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base reacts to form a neutral salt.

Since, acid and base reacts they neutralize the affect of each other and no excess of hydroxide ions or hydrogen ions are present in the solution.

The correct balanced equation between the base Al(OH)₃ and stomach acid HCl will be:

                  Al(OH)₃(s) + 3HCl (aq) —> AlCl₃(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

The explanation for the balanced reaction is:

The reaction between Aluminium hydroxide and Hydrochloric acid is called neutralization reaction which produces salt aluminium chloride and water. Thus, it can be represented as:

                  Al(OH)₃(s) + HCl(aq) —> AlCl₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

The above equation is balanced according to:

1. Al(OH)₃(s) + HCl(aq) —> AlCl₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

2. One atom of chlorine on the left side and three atoms on the right side and can be balanced as shown below:

                   Al(OH)₃(s) + 3HCl(aq) —> AlCl₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

3. Three atoms of oxygen on the left side and one atom on the right side  can be balanced as the equation below:

                     Al(OH)₃(s) + 3HCl(aq) —> AlCl₃(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

Al(OH)₃(s) + 3HCl(aq) —> AlCl₃(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

Explanation:

The reaction between Al(OH)₃ and HCl is called neutralization reaction which produces salt (AlCl₃) and water (H₂O). Thus, we can write the equation for reaction as follow:

Al(OH)₃(s) + HCl(aq) —> AlCl₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

The above equation can be balance as illustrated below:

Al(OH)₃(s) + HCl(aq) —> AlCl₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

There are 3 atoms of Cl on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of HCl as shown below:

Al(OH)₃(s) + 3HCl(aq) —> AlCl₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

There are 3 atoms of O on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of H₂O as shown below:

Al(OH)₃(s) + 3HCl(aq) —> AlCl₃(aq) + 3H₂O(l)

Now, the equation is balanced.
