Antacids work by neutralizing the acid created by your stomach. Notice how the name sounds like anti-acid. Other types of reflux pills will block the release of acid into the stomach.
Because Indigestion tablets are an alkali/base, it neutralizes the acid in your stomach, so instead of there being an acid, there is just water left
As indigestion is caused by acid, the pH value is around 2-4.
Heartburn/indigestion is caused by acidic foods (low pH) so take alkaline tablets (high pH) to neutralise the acids and stop the pain.
It works by neutralising the hydrochloric acid (HCl) from the stomach, because it is not normal to have a surplus of acid in your stomach. This is a chemical reaction of neutralization for the control of pH. The indigestion tablet has alkaline in them.
Calcium Carbonate Indigestion tablets (antacids) may contain: CaCO3, MgCO3, Al(OH)3, Mg(OH)2, NaHCO3, KHCO3, etc. All these substances dissolved make an alkaline solution - to neutralize the excess of hydrochloric acid from the stomach and to control of the gastric pH.

In your stomach there is gastric acid. Sometimes your stomach produces too much of this acid and causes pains. This is called indigestion. You can stop indigestion by taking an antacid tablet. An antacid tablet is a tablet containing alkali. Most antacid tablets are weak based and have enough alkali in them to cancel out MOST of the acid. It doses this by reacting with the acid and producing salt and water. This is it written in basic form antacid tablet is an agent that counteracts or neutralizes acidity (especially in the stomach). why not try this First of all, take a solution which is acidic. To prove to people that the solution is acidic, use a pH paper or pH indicator. note down the pH value. Next, put some antacids tablets in the solution. After the tablets have all dissolved in the solution, use a pH paper/indicator to get the final reading of the pH value of the solution. The pH value should be higher than the initial value. You can diversify this experiment by asking questions like: 1)how many tablets do I need to increase the pH by one? 2) Different tablet manufactures will produce different results, such as absorption rate, the duration of action, etc.
the ph of it will not neutrelise the stomach acid.
No stop asking hopeless questions k.
to neutralise a bee sting you use alkaline substances; such as toothpaste, indigestion tablets(that can dissolve) washing up powder and washing up liquid
Baking Soda and toothpaste are both alkali, meaning they have a pH of 8 or above. Other alkalis would be bleach, Caustic Soda, Ammonia and Calcium Carbonate (found in indigestion tablets)
CaCO 3 , MgCO 3 , Al(OH) 3 ,Mg(OH) 2 , NaHCO 3 , KHCO
All enxymes work at an optimum pH. Changes in pH levels could change the rate at which the enzymes work by denaturing them.
