An antacid relieves an overly acidic stomach because antacids are
A base in solution produces hydroxide ions (OH-) as the predominant ion.
Ion product constant is essentially when something reaches equilibrium. Such as in the case of water. When water reaches its ion product constant it becomes both a base and an acid, reaching equilibrium.
The relationship is that the product of the ion concentrations must equal the Ksp value for the solution to be saturated. If the product exceeds the Ksp value, then a precipitation reaction will occur until equilibrium is reached. Conversely, if the product is less than the Ksp value, the solution is not saturated and more solute can dissolve.
The hydroxide ion (OH-) is the only negative ion present in an aqueous solution of an Arrhenius base.
This ion is the hydroxyl -OH.

A hydroxyl ion
A base in solution will produce hydroxide or OH- ions.
This is a base.
A base solution releases OH- and the positive radical of the base.
The hydroxide ion (OH-) is part of every base. It accepts protons (H+) in solution to produce water.
