The pH level in your stomach is between 2 and 3 which is an acid. The antacids bring the pH level up to a 5 or 6 which is not quite neutral but is still less acidic.

How do antacids effect a pH indicator?
Antacids have a pH under 7.
Acid and hydroxide base will react to produce what?
normally if you add a base to an acid it raises the pH level makin it less acidic and if you add enough it will raise the pH level to 7 makin it neutral. antacids are composed of material with a basic pH level they neutralize some of the acid in your stomach to relieve heartburn. i do not know if it being a hydroxide base will have any significant effect
What happens to the pH of the acid in your stomach when you take an antacid?
It increases since antacids are alkalis.
What is the difference between acids and antacids?
An antacid is literary an alkali so they both have different limits on the ph scale..... acid = ph 0 - 6 and antacid = ph 8 - 14
What has a pH level of 3?
Apples have a pH level of 3. Also, soda has a pH level of 4, and vinegar's pH level is 2.5.
How do antacids effect a pH indicator?
Antacids have a pH under 7.
What inceases pH of stomach liquids?
Bases (antacids).
Is antacid low in pH scale?
Antacids are bases. Bases have a pH higher than 7...So, no.
Does an antacid has a pH greater than seven?
Antacids are basic substances.
Is simeco acid base or salt?
Simeco is a mixture of antacids; the pH is basic.

What is the action of an antacid?
Antacid molecules dissociate in the stomach into some R+ group and an OH- group (hydroxide). The hydroxide reacts with an H3O+ ion (hydronium) to form two H2O molecules. The reduction in H3O+ concentration corresponds to increased pH (decreased acidity). 1) ROH -> R+ + OH- 2) OH- + H3O+ -> 2H2O pH = -ln([H3O+])/ln(10)
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 happens to the pH of the acid in your stomach when you take an antacid?
It increases since antacids are alkalis.
What is the biological mode of action of antacids in your body?
reduces pH of HCL acid in your stomach
Why are stomach tablets called antacids?
because they relieve the stomach of acids that usually result from food eaten a short time before because they're anti acid - they neutralize excess acid in the stomach
How does an antacid deal with chemical digestion?
Antacids affect chemical digestion by increasing the pH in the stomach.
