Acids are the substances which release hydrogen ions in solution while antacids are the substances which neutraliae the hydrogen ions so formed by the acids.
Antacids are bases, and release hydroxide (OH) ions which combine with the (H) ions of the acids, forming water and salts.
Antacids are usually compounds composed of elements that generally do the opposite reaction of "acids" -Dr. Bosch
Antacids.
Acids are substances that can donate protons, while antacids are substances that neutralize acids in the stomach to relieve heartburn or indigestion. Acids can be harmful if ingested in excess, while antacids provide relief by balancing stomach pH levels.
When antacids reacts with acids from the stomach this is a chemical change.
Calcium carbonate easily react with acids.
Antacids work against acids. If you were to add an acid to an acid you would just make more acid. They are therefore alkaline.
An analogy for the way antacids neutralize acids is like adding baking soda to vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas. In this reaction, the base (baking soda) reacts with the acid (vinegar) to form a neutral product (carbon dioxide). Similarly, antacids neutralize stomach acid by reacting with it to form neutral compounds and reduce acidity in the stomach.
alkaloids, to counter the acids that cause heartburn
HCL (hydrochloric acid found in the stomach) and sodium bicarbonate (found in antacids).
Alkalis (bases) react with acids to neutralize them, so in one sense, they can be considered as "opposite" of acids. Bases produce pH values >7 and acids produce pH values <7.
Acids do not have a pH greater than 7. When the pH is greater than 7, this makes it a base.
Antacids are weak bases that help neutralize excess stomach acid. They work by raising the pH level in the stomach, providing relief from conditions like heartburn and indigestion. While antacids are effective at managing symptoms, they are not considered strong bases in the chemical sense.
