no antacid tablets have acids they are used against the acids in our stomach.they have weak bases which neutralise the acids.
they also have ingredients that act against the histamine present which stimulates acid secretion...

What happens when you take a antacid tablet?
it contains a base (alkali) and so helps to neutralise excess stomach acid.
What kind of reaction is it when antacid tablet reacts with hydrochloric acid?
The reaction between antacid tablets and hydrochloric acid is classed as an acid-base reaction, and is also called a neutralisation reaction. The base or alkali in the reaction is in the antacid tablet. These reactions produce a salt (not necessarily table salt NaCl) and water.
How does a alkali tablet react with stomach acid?
Stomach acid oviasly cantains acid so when acid and alkali are mixed neutralasation happens.
Is it a physical or chemical change when an antacid tablet reacts with hydrochloric acid?
It is a chemical change. Depending on the antacid, the active ingredient in the tablet (which is a base) will react with the hydrochloric acid to produce water, a salt, and sometimes carbon dioxide.
How much stomach acid can one antacid tablet neutralize?
it takes neutralize about 120 mL of stomach acid.

How do the indigestion tablets can be used to settle your stomach?
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 formantacid tablet is an agent that counteracts or neutralizes acidity (especially in the stomach).Read more: What_is_an_antacid_tablet_and_how_does_it_work

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.
