Antacids are hydroxides or salts as cabonates and bicarbonates.
How do antacid tablets work?
No, antacid tablets do not evaporate. They are solid tablets designed to dissolve in water or in the stomach to neutralize excess stomach acid. Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into a gas, which does not apply to solid antacid tablets.
They are used as laxative and antacid.
It has a chemical reaction and the antacid starts to dissolve. or When you do the white vinegar with the antacid tablets together the tube/bottle explodes and causes a chemical reaction.

No. Salts are produced in a neutralization reaction, an antacid is an alkali, used for a neutralization reaction. Salts are not antacids but are products of reactions using antacids. Hope I was helpful.
Some antacid tablets may contain ingredients that react with water to produce a gas, such as carbon dioxide. However, not all antacid tablets will produce oxygen gas when added to water. It depends on the specific chemical composition of the antacid tablet.
Makes them harder to compress into tablets (and stay as tablets), and does nothing to neutralize acid.
No. An antacid tablet dropped in water produces carbon dioxide.
To comfort and relieve heart burn.
Antacid tablets typically contain active ingredients such as calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, or aluminum hydroxide. These ingredients help neutralize excess stomach acid and provide relief from heartburn and indigestion. Antacid tablets may also contain inactive ingredients such as flavoring agents, sweeteners, and binding agents.
The alkali in the Rennie tablets neutralize the Hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
