How can sodium hydrogen carbonate relieve a stomach with excess acid?
Sodium hydrogen carbonate is another name for sodium bicarbonate, which has the chemical formula NaHCO3. Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid that reacts with sodium bicarbonate in a chemical reaction to neutralize stomach acid. The chemical equation is HCl + NaHCO3 produces NaCl + CO2 + H2O.
How many moles of stomach acid would be neutralized by one tablet of regular strength maalox that contains 600 mg of calcium carbonate?
Use simple stoichiometry, with .6 grams of the calcium carbonate corresponding to a mole to mole ratio of 2:1 Acid:base
Are magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide more effective at neutralizing stomach acid?
Of the antacids, hydroxides of aluminum (Al(OH)3) and magnesium (Mg(OH)2) are the most common preparations. The hydroxides of aluminum and magnesium are relatively insoluble; therefore, OH- does not accumulate to corrosive levels. * Mg(OH)2 reacts relatively rapidly with H+. ** Side effects include diarrhea, and hypermagnesemia in patients with renal insufficienc. * Al(OH)3 acts relatively slowly, and it can form complex conglomerates, providing sustained neutralizing capacity. ** Side effects include constipation, hypophosphatemia; drug adsorption reduces bioavailability. Thus, combinations of Mg2+ and Al3+ hydroxides provide a relatively fast and sustained neutralizing capacity.In addition, since aluminum can relax the smooth muscle of the stomach and delay gastric emptying, while magnesium opposed those effects, when Al(OH)3 and Mg(OH)2 taken concurrently have relatively little effect on gastric emptying. On the other hand, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate are also used, as are other carbonates, silicates, and phosphates. These antacids react with HCl to form chlorides, water, and carbon dioxide, neutralizing HCl by these chemical reactions. However, the very water soluble sodium bicarbonate is rapidly cleared from the stomach and presents both an alkali and a sodium load, which may cause systemic alkalosis and fluid retention. Calcium carbonate may also cause hypercalcemia, and milk-alkali syndrome when excessive administration of calcium carbonate is used, leading to calcium kidney stones, alkalosis, decrease in parathyroid retention of bicarbonate by kidney. Based purely on stoichiometry, a mole of Aluminum hydroxide can neutralize 3 moles of HCl. A mole of Magnesium hydroxide can neutralize only 2 moles of HCl.
When you eat food a chemical reaction takes place in your stomach Identify some of the reactants and the products in this reaction?
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with bile juice from the liver...And eventually amino acids are given out.
What are the those tiny rocks in urinee?
Small pieces of your stomach lining that is ripped from your stomach and petrifies in your urin.
What is the chemical process by which base calcium carbonate rects with the excess stomach acid?
neutralization
How can bone fragments be broken down by the body?
Bone fragments are made of calcium carbonate. When calcium carbonate is eaten and enters the stomach, the acids in the stomach will dissolve the calcium carbonate.
What does calcium carbonate do in rennie tablets?
Calcium carbonate is for neutralising the excess of acid in the stomach.
An excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach causes indigestion.An indigestion tablet contains a mixture of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide.Type a balanced chemical equation 4 the reaction.?
Caluim carbonate + Hydrochloric acid = Carcon dioxide + Calicum chloride + water
What does calcium carbonate do in the body?
It can neutralize stomach acid (Heartburn)
Calcium carbonate can be used as an antacid to treat excess stomach acidity What type of substance is calcium carbonate?
base.
How can sodium hydrogen carbonate relieve a stomach with excess acid?
Sodium hydrogen carbonate is another name for sodium bicarbonate, which has the chemical formula NaHCO3. Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid that reacts with sodium bicarbonate in a chemical reaction to neutralize stomach acid. The chemical equation is HCl + NaHCO3 produces NaCl + CO2 + H2O.
What type of chemical will neutralize stomach acid?
The safest one is magnesium carbonate. Although alkalis will neutralise acids, they will do damage to the human anatomy, so don't use alkalis. Magnesium carbonate is the active constituent of 'Alka-Seltzer' or 'Milk of Magnesia'. Magnesium carbonate is a chemical salt. Remember all carbonates react with acids to form another salt, water and carbon dioxide. The stomach acid is Hydrochloric Acid which magnesium carbonate will neutralise. Here is the equation. 2HCl + MgCO3 = MgCl2 + H2O + CO2(The burp). Calcium carbonate can be used, but the taste is very chalky.
Is calcium citrate a better calcium supplement than calcium carbonate?
Calciun Carbonate and Calcium Citrate are different in that, Carbonate is not as easy to absorb as Citrate. Carbonate in not recommended for elderly folks due to a decrease in stomach acids. Citrate in more easily absorbed and can be taken at anytime, with or without food.
What is in Antacid tablets that make them relive stomach pain?
Tums, it contains calcium carbonate
What do you call the two chemicals that react together in antacid tablets?
Calcium Hydroxide (Alkali in the stomach) and Gastric Acid (in the stomach)
What does calcium carbonate contain that helps with indigestion?
The very structure of the molecule of Calcium Carbonate CaCO3means that it contains one Calcium (Ca++) atom, one of carbon (C+), and three of Oxygen (O++). According to the rules of chemical equations, when you mix CaCO3 with HCl (Hydrochloric Acid) found in your stomach, you get Calcium Chloride, Water and Gas CO2. This leaves the acid neutralized, and thus it takes away the burning, as the stomach is no longer trying to digest itself. However, there are better ways of reducing indigestion, as neutralizing your stomach acid, also means that you can't digest protein.
