What neutralizes HCl in chyme?

Bicarbonate ions released from the pancreas neutralize hydrochloric acid (HCl) in chyme as it enters the small intestine. This reaction produces water and carbon dioxide, helping to raise the pH and create a more suitable environment for digestion and absorption to occur.


Why does pepsin not remain active in the duodenum?

Yes. The precursor of pepsin is called pepsinogen; it is produced by stomach cells and then activated by the HCl in the stomach. Pepsin works best at very low pH.... e.g. acid conditions of the stomach. The small intestine has glands that produce neutralize the acid. Pepsin denatures at pH's of 5,0 or higher..... so effectively it is neutralized when the chyme enters the small intestine.


What is the concentratuon of a hcl solution if 25.0 ml is required to neutralize 38.5 ml of a 0.500m solution of naoh?

To find the concentration of HCl, you can use the formula: moles of NaOH = moles of HCl. From the given information, you can calculate the moles of NaOH used to neutralize the acid. Then, use the volume and concentration of NaOH to determine the concentration of HCl.


How many moles of KOH are needed to exactly neutralize 500. mL of 1.0 M HCl?

1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of KOH. Therefore, 0.5 moles of KOH (500 mL = 0.5 L) are needed to neutralize 0.5 moles of HCl.


What substance in pancreatic juice neutralizes the HCL?

Sodium bicarbonate is the substance in pancreatic juice that neutralizes hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. This helps create a more favorable pH environment for the enzymes in the small intestine to be effective in breaking down food molecules.


Explain how bile produces by the liver and enzymes produced in the pancreas function in the small intestine?

The bile produced in the liver eats the fats in the food and the enzymes produced in the pancreas breaks down the fats before the the bile eats it because the enzymes break down the fats in to smaller particlesIt helps neutralize the stomach acid so it wont burn it.as part of the digestive system, the pancreas produces enzymes that flow into the small intestine and help break down starches, proteins, and fats.

How do you neutralize HCl acid?

To neutralize HCl acid, you can add a base such as sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydroxide to it. The base will react with the acid to form water and a salt, bringing the pH closer to neutral. Be sure to add the base slowly and carefully to avoid potential splattering.


What is left when a base is neutralize?

Water and a salt (a salt referring to any ionic compound). An example would be HCl neutralizing KOH. HCl+KOH-->H2O+KCl


Why is there food acid in the stomach and alkaline in the small intestine?

The acidic environment of the stomach helps break down foodstuffs that was ingested and also kills potential bacteria. The alkaline environment of the intestines facilitates the absorption of nutrients.


Why does the bile neutralize chyme?

Bile serves two functions: to neutralise chyme. This helps digestion, as it provides an optimum pH for enzymes to act on the partially digested food. It also emulsifies fats, which too aids the enzymes.
