Indigestion tablets (antacids) may contain: CaCO3, MgCO3, Al(OH)3, Mg(OH)2, NaHCO3, KHCO3, etc.
All these substances dissolved make an alkaline solution - to neutralize the excess of hydrochloric acid from the stomach and to control of the gastric pH.
Indigestion tablets have a range on alcalines in to neutralize the stomach acid. The main alkaline used is calcium carbonate otherwise know as lime stone.
Yes, if the tablet is crushed and solved in water.

MgO is basic oxide and neutralises stomach acid (too much stomach acid is the main cause of indigestion/heart burn)
Weak because the indigestion is the acid rising and hurting a sensative part of you stomach, so the indigestion tablet weakens the acid so that the acid isn't dissolving and causing pain to your stomach.
Heartburn and/or indigestion. It is a prescription-only antacid.
because when the acid in your stomach reacts with the indigestion tablet, it gives of carbon dioxide :)
No stop asking hopeless questions k.
Indigestion tablet is taken for digesting the food. So its pH will be less than 7 i.e. acidic.

THE QUESTION !!! A student wanted to find the mass of calcium carbonate in an indigestion tablet. She crushed up a tablet and added an excess of HCL acid (25cm3 of 1.00 mol/dm3). She the titrated the excess against 0.5 mol/dm3 of NaOH requiring 25.8cm3 of the NaOH. Calculate the mass off calcium carbonate in the tablet.
