Yes, children normally have a higher pH due to reduce gastric acid secretion.
At birth pH is 6-8 due to amniotic fluid in the stomach, after a day or so this acidifies to around adult levels pH 1.5-3, it then rises again to neutral at around a week to 10 days and gradually lowers after 2-3 years to adult levels again.
pH levels in the elderly may also be higher
effect of stomach PH on partition coefficient
Decrease in pH of the stomach will distort the active site of the enzyme pepsin, which affects its action.
Your stomach has a pH of 2.0
Antacids affect chemical digestion by increasing the pH in the stomach.
The hydrochloric acid in the stomach is strongly acidic - pH 1-2.
Antacid neutralizes acidity in stomach. It's effect to the stomach is due to partial neutralizations of gastric hydrochloric acid and inhibition of enzyme, pepsin. Hence, the urine pH will increase.
around 1-2 is the pH of stomach acid
Your stomach acid has a pH of 1.5 to 3.5
stomach acid has a lower ph, therefore a stronger acid
pH of stomach juice is between 1 and 2.
Stomach pH at digestion is 2.
Stomach acid - hydrochloric acid - has a pH of between 1 and 2. This makes the stomach very acidic.
