Is stomach acid the same as acid?

Stomach acid is a solution of acid, hydrochloric acid to be specific.


What has the same pH level as stomach acid?

Stomach acid is not very strong compared to chemical acids available on the market. One thing that has about the same pH as stomach acid is lemon juice.


Is stomach acid and gastric acid the same?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is one of the component of gastric acid (also called gastric juice). Other components include electrolytes and enzymes. So no, hydrochloric acid is NOT the same thing as gastric acid


How do you use muriatic acid to etch concrete?

For anyone interested in the TRUE HCl concentration of muriatic acid (sans WIKIfication) simply google "muriatic acid msds" and you will see that, while the concentration varies by manufacturer, it generally ranges from 33-40%. Furthermore, even if you order HCl by name from a chemical supply house, you order by concentration, usually some reagent grade, with fuming HCl starting at ~40%. No hardware store in the world sells 100% HCl for etching concrete.DANGER / SEVERE HAZARD -- Muriatic Acid IS UNDILUTED (100% concentration) Hydrochloric acid.Wear Eye and face protection, acid resistant gloves, rubber slicker suit, or be VERY careful as Hydrochloric acid is highly corrosive and can instantly burn holes in your skin and tissues, and right through all woven clothing.When diluting ANY acids, it extremely important that you NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID, as the reaction between the two will result in an "explosion" throwing acid instantly in all directions.The PROPER method of diluting acids is to very SLOWLY pour the concentrated acid into a larger volume of water.For an additonal "layer" of safety, do not pour the acid from a large and heavy container, as it is more difficult to handle and control. Pour the needed amount of concentrated acid into a smaller, acid resistant, container which will be easier to handle and therefore control the pour rate.When using baking soda for neutralizing acid residues, be VERY CAREFUL to NOT ALLOW the baking soda to contact the UNDILUTED ACID as the resulting reaction can be explosive!1Bust out some protective clothing and a gas mask. Have a good supply of fresh water on hand in case you need to rinse any body parts. Be very careful with muriatic acid; it's 30% hydrochloric acid, and is fairly hazardous.If you only want to barely 'etch' a slippery concrete surface, it is best to dilute the acid with water, as acid straight from the bottle tends to be very aggressive with any concrete surface, and can badly damage the surface very quickly.For a deeper etch Pour the substance where you want to etch the concrete and spread it out with a nylon broom. let it sit for a half-hour. Wash it thoroughly with the hose after.I have used a small hand held spray bottle set to a fine misty spray, and skipped the 'rinse' step altogether with very good results.'Baking Soda / water solution' is an acid neutralizer, and can be used around most landscape with safe results.>>> Get used to the process FIRST. Buy a few cement blocks, bricks, or slabs that you can throw away. Different concrete blends, strengths,... react differently. New and old concrete of the same formula will also react differently. An new slab poured next to the exact same mix from the same company in an old slab will be different due to moisture content and curing time).Good luck.- tapalmer99@aol.com#3, You follow the MFG directions on the product as with anything.You use Ammonia to neutralize.


Are all antacids the same?

essentially - yes. They're all alkaline in composition... since they're designed to counteract stomach acid.

What acid names start with the letter m?

Muriatic acid is used to clean concrete and bricks among other things. It is basically the same as hydrochloric acid.


Why doesn't stomach acids corrode the intestines?

Because the stomach secretes the acid to break down the food. There is no stomach acid secretions in the intestional tract. Because the stomach secretes the acid to break down the food. There is no stomach acid secretions in the intestional tract.

Is stomach acid dangerous?

Yes, stomach acid can burn. Gastric acid contains hydrochloric acid, which is a very strong acid. However, the lining of the stomach is protected by a layer of mucus, which prevents the acid from burning the stomach. However, a weakness in the mucus layer or excessive production of stomach acid can result in an ulcer. Excessive vomiting can damage the esophagus due to the burning effects of stomach acid. In addition, excessive vomiting can also damage the teeth for the same reason. However, it's not easy to get burned by your own stomach acid. You won't hurt yourself if you accidentally get vomit on your skin, for example. However, heavy vomiting and frequent heartburn can cause damage to your esophagus, and ulcers can develop and become very painful. You should eat a proper diet, and always consult a doctor if you have frequent heartburn or other pain symptoms in your stomach or lower chest.


What is typical health risks for people with bulimia?

The stomach acid is so strong, it can burn a hole in a rug. It can do the same to the esophagus as the chyme comes up and out of the stomach.

How do you clean battery acid from wooden floor?

The best approach here is to consider neutralizing the acid. a solution of baking soda and water will do the trick. Battery acid is strong and acidic. Any damage occurred to the concrete will be permanent. The effects you see from the acid coming in contact with the concrete will vary based on how much acid there was and how long it was left to etch into the surface. Hydrochloric and muriatic acids will eat the concrete paste from the surface and leave anything from small mica to larger sand and gravel aggregate finishes. Neutralize it immediately when not intended! The orange you see is called acid "burn" and any concrete "rust" removers you find on the market will not be effective at removing acid burn. Rust removers are good for rust but may damage, reactive or spread acid burn making it even worse. Bleach will only remove a small portion of the stain and the scrub brush on concrete will definitely cause permanent damage to the concrete. Once concrete is "spot treated" with improper tools, chemicals or techniques it can be permanently damaged. Battery acid stains are not rust and are a chemical reaction within the concrete. If you try Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrochloric will only remove a maximum of 60% of the stain. It is very dangerous and will permanently damage your concrete. The only reason HCL Acid works is because it dissolves the cement past and takes a small amount of stain with it. Battery Acid Stains can travel up to 2" deep into the concrete. There is only one solution that will work- it is a new product called F9 BARC (Battery Acid Restoration Cleaner) made by Front 9 Restoration, Inc.
