What else can I help you with?
Commercials for antacids often claim these products neutralize stomach acid. Antacids are bases. What would be an analogy for the way in which antacids neutralize acids?
An analogy for the way antacids neutralize acids is like adding baking soda to vinegar to produce carbon dioxide gas. In this reaction, the base (baking soda) reacts with the acid (vinegar) to form a neutral product (carbon dioxide). Similarly, antacids neutralize stomach acid by reacting with it to form neutral compounds and reduce acidity in the stomach.
The difference between using antacids and acid inhibitors in the treatment of excess stomach acid?
Antacids work by neutralizing stomach acid, providing immediate relief from symptoms. Acid inhibitors, such as proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers, reduce the production of stomach acid over time for longer-lasting effects. Antacids are fast-acting but short-lasting, while acid inhibitors have a delayed onset but provide more sustained relief.
What is the difference between a weak and strong acid involves the acids ability to do what?
The difference between a weak and strong acid lies in their ability to ionize/dissociate in water. Strong acids fully ionize in water, releasing a high concentration of H+ ions, while weak acids only partially ionize, releasing a lower concentration of H+ ions. This difference is reflected in their pH values and reactivity.
What is the main difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids?
The main difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids is the presence of double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds in their carbon chains, while unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds. This structural difference affects their physical properties and health implications.
What is the difference between fatty acids and fats?
Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. Fats are made up of a combination of different fatty acids. Fatty acids are the individual molecules that make up fats.
How are acids and antacids opposite?
Acids are the substances which release hydrogen ions in solution while antacids are the substances which neutraliae the hydrogen ions so formed by the acids. Antacids are bases, and release hydroxide (OH) ions which combine with the (H) ions of the acids, forming water and salts.
What are antacids generally made up of?
Antacids are usually compounds composed of elements that generally do the opposite reaction of "acids" -Dr. Bosch
What are the medicines that work against stomach acids which can cause heartburn?
Antacids.
The main difference between amino acids is there?
What? Speak proper english, please. The main difference between amino acids and what?
How can you visualize the difference between acids and bases?
no but you can tell the difference by taste
What is chemical change of antiacid?
When antacids reacts with acids from the stomach this is a chemical change.
Why is calcuim carbonate used in antacids?
Calcium carbonate easily react with acids.
Are antacids a acid or alkali?
Antacids work against acids. If you were to add an acid to an acid you would just make more acid. They are therefore alkaline.
What is the pH of antarcids?
Antacids are used to neutralize acids, and are therefore bases, so their pH values must lie between 7 and 14 on the pH scale.
What is the difference between codon and amino acids?

What do antacids contain in them the helps smooth heart burns?
alkaloids, to counter the acids that cause heartburn
