What is the difference between acids and 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.
Why do stomach acids have a low pH level?
The lower a pH level is, the more acidic it is. The acid in your stomach, hydrochloric, is very acidic, and can even burn through some items.

Which part of the body is replaced most quickly?
The lining of your stomach is replaced every three days due to the low pH of your stomach acids.
What is the clinical significance of the sudden shift on pH from the stomach to the small intestines?
The stomach is covered in mucus to protect it from the strong acids used to digest proteins. The duodenum (the very first section of the small intestine) does not have such mucus to protect itself. The pH change is crucial to make sure that the duodenum is not harmed by the strong acids from the stomach.
How would you compare acids and bases in terms of their pH?
acid pH < 7base pH > 7
How would a base like Alka-Seltzerhelp and upset stomach?
When your stomach is upset, it is usually due to an increase in the acidity (decrease in pH) of your stomach. Since your stomach is thus more acidic than what is usual, bases such as Alka-Seltzer and Pepto-Bismol help to neutralize some of the stomach acid that's causing the problems, thus bringing the user some relief. Bases have a higher pH than acids, and thus, when mixed with acids, depending on the strength of the base, will neutralize it to some degree.
Which organ would you find an acidic pH in?
Most of the body has a pH that is slightly basic. The only place in the body that is acidic would be in the stomach, where the stomach acid has a pH of 1.5 to 3.5, which is very acidic.
