The chemical formula for ingesting antacid tablets is simply a neutralization reaction. It depends on what base the antacid contains, but common reaction would be NaHCO3 + HCl ----> NaCl + H2O + CO2.

∙ 13y agothe reaction equation depends on the antacid used. Stomach acid is HCl, not H2SO4.
Common equations would include:
Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + 2H2O
Al(OH)3 + 3HCl --> AlCl3 + 3H2O
NaHCO3 + HCl --> CO2 + H2O + NaCl
CaCO3 + 2HCl ---> CO2 + H2O + CaCl2

NaHCO3 and CaCO3 are both commonly used as antacids as are Mg(OH)2 and Al(OH)3
