    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.


    Why does the mass of water and an antacid tablet go down when the tablet dissolves in water?

    The Law of Mass Conservation is related to a closed system; but also in this case the initial mass of the antacid tablet is equal to the sum of masses of the products obtained after the reaction.


    Would the result of antacid tablet in water differ if the reaction were carried out in a sealed container?

    this chemical reaction forms a gas that may rupture the container or explode.


    What would be the symbol equation for antacid reaction?

    An example: 2HCl + Mg(OH)2 = MgCl2 + 2H2O


    Can the reaction in neutralization antacid tablets be reserved or not?

    Chemical reactions can't truly be reversed in any way. Separating the antacid tablet's contents from the water may be possible, but the material won't be a single, whole tablet again, and might not even be a single material at that point.

    The colder the tablet the longer it will take for it to dissolve.


    How does changing the shape of an antacid tablet affect how fast it breaks down?

    the smaller each bit of the tablet, the larger the surface area is hence the quickier the reaction will take place... chemstry 101 the smaller each bit of the tablet, the larger the surface area is hence the quickier the reaction will take place... chemstry 101
