Bismuth Subsalicylate reacts with Hydrochloric acid to form Bismuth Oxychloride and Salicyclic acid
C7H5BiO4 + HCL -------> BiOCl + C7H6O3
The tap density of the powder is 0,43 g/cm3.
4Bi(s) + 3O2(g)----> 2Bi2O3(s)
Bi
The chemical name for BI is Bismuth.
Bi2o3
Pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) is use to treat stomach discomforts.
its a poisoning effect from bismuth salts, the active ingredient in pepto happens to be bismuth subsalicylate
The tap density of the powder is 0,43 g/cm3.
Bismuth subsalicylate is the active ingredient in Pepto Bismol and its genetic competitors. It helps relieve gastrointestinal distress such as diarrhea or nauseousness.
4Bi(s) + 3O2(g)----> 2Bi2O3(s)
bismuth promotes ulcer healing by forming a bismuth-protein coagulant which protects the ulcer from acid and pepsin digestion it also stimulates mucos , bicarbonate and prostaglandins production it also have antimicrobial activity against H.pylori
Children with flu or chicken pox should not be given bismuth subsalicylate. It can lead to Reye's syndrome
No because the drug in pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) does not interact with popular forms of oral contraception
Pepto's Pink ColorBismuth subsalicylate is the active ingredient in 'Pepto-Bismol' and many people believe that this is what gives Pepto its distinct pink color. But that is Wrong, wrong and mister wrong!It is red because it has chemical colorants inside !!!!Each mL contains: bismuth subsalicylate 17.6 mg.and Nonmedicinal ingredients: benzoic acid, D&C Red No. 22, D&C Red No. 28, flavour, magnesium aluminum silicate, methylcellulose, sodium saccharin, salicylic acid, sodium salicylate, sorbic acid and water. (these ingredients add to flavor, color, and preservatives)Bismuth subsalicylate occurs as white or nearly white, tasteless, odorless powder and contains about 58% bismuth. It is insoluble in water, glycerin and alcohol, therefore, it is artificial coloring which is responsible for its distinctive pink color.
