The effect of baking soda on H ion concentration in stomach content?

I think it reduces the concentration as H+ ions attach to the Carbonate radicals. H+ ( whatever ele n the stomach like OH- ) radicals from water.>> H+ & OH- + Ca+ & CO3 will give CaOH + H2CO3 I think!!>> WATER + CalciumCarbonate = Calcium Hydroxide and HydrogenCarbonate H2O + CaCO3 = CaOH + H2CO3 or something like that. I know the above equation is NOT balanced.

∙ 10y agoThe Lewis definition of a base is an electron pair donor. An acid (eg H+) is an electron acceptor.
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Sodium is a spectator ion (it does nothing) so ignore it. Bicarbonate has formula:
O-COOH
The negative oxygen atom has 3 lone pairs AND has negative charge, so it is a good electron donor. It thus reacts with H+ in the stomach to form:
HOCOOH
So the bicarbonate is snatching up H+. The acidity of the stomach will decease (increase alkalinity). The pH will therefore increase to a number greater than 4. The amount it increases would depend on the amount of bicarbonate added.
If the Lewis definition is too confusing, the Bronsted-Lowry definition is also applicable. Acid = proton donor (H+), base = proton acceptor.

What effect does the concentration of baking soda solution have on the amount needed to neutralizing an acid?
If it has a greater concentration, it will be considered more basic or alkaline. So, with a higher concentration, you will not need as much baking soda in your neutralization reaction.
What effect does alcohol being absorbed in the stomach have?
It increases blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
What is the effect of concentration on the reaction rate of baking soda and vinegar?
as the concentration of vinegar is increased the volume of carbon dioxide produced also increases.

What are the two environmental factors that effect the function of enzymes?
tempeture,ph, solute concentration and salt content
Does baking powder make you sick?
Eating baking soda alone can make you belch or vomit, because the acid in your stomach will react with the baking soda to produce carbon dioxide gas. Vinegar is a low-level acid, but won't generally have much effect as your natural stomach acids are much stronger.
