Antacid is a base. They are designed for acid build up in your stomach, and when an acid (stomach acid) is mixed with the base (antacid) it causes a neutral substance in your stomach, and that's how it gets rid of the build up. This process is called neutralization (when bases and acids react).

Is NaNO3 acidic neutral or basis?

Sodium nitrate (NaNO3) is a neutral salt. When dissolved in water, it will not significantly affect the pH of the solution.


Is the mass of an antacid tablet conserved after they are dissolved?

Yes, the mass of an antacid tablet is conserved after it dissolves in a solution. According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reactants (the antacid tablet and water) equals the total mass of the products (the dissolved substances in the solution). While the tablet may change form and release ions into the solution, the overall mass remains the same.


Is sugar dissolved in water is a solution?

Yes, by definition, because anything "dissolved" in a liquid forms a "solution".


Is sugar water a acid or base or neutral?

Sugar water is neutral. Sugar itself is neither acidic nor basic, and when dissolved in water, it does not significantly change the overall pH of the solution.

NaNo3 is it acidic basic or neutral when dissolved in water?

NaNO3, or sodium nitrate, is a neutral salt when dissolved in water because it is a strong electrolyte that dissociates completely into sodium ions and nitrate ions. The presence of both cations (sodium ions) and anions (nitrate ions) in solution makes the overall solution neutral.


What are 3 examples of neutral solution?

Pure water at room temperature is a neutral solution with a pH of 7. A solution of sodium chloride (table salt) in water is neutral with a pH of 7. A solution of sugar (sucrose) dissolved in water is also a neutral solution when it has a pH of 7.


Is carbon dioxide is a neutral oxide?

Carbon dioxide is not considered a neutral oxide. It is an acidic oxide because it forms an acidic solution when dissolved in water, leading to the formation of carbonic acid. Neutral oxides do not form acidic or basic solutions when dissolved in water.


Is sodium chloride dissolved in pure water a neutral base?

yes because the two atoms that is sodium which is small in size and chlorine which is highly electronegative can form hydrogen bond not only in between themselves but also with solvent (pure water).
