the 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

What effects does distilled white vinegar have on antacid tablets?

It has a chemical reaction and the antacid starts to dissolve. or When you do the white vinegar with the antacid tablets together the tube/bottle explodes and causes a chemical reaction.


Can antacid reaction be reversed?

no. it is a chemical reaction. and so it cannot be reversed.


Is there a simple diagram of antacid tablets in the stomach?

How do antacid tablets work?


Is nitrogen given off when antacid tablets are dropped in water?

No. An antacid tablet dropped in water produces carbon dioxide.


Does an antacid tablet evaporate?

No, antacid tablets do not evaporate. They are solid tablets designed to dissolve in water or in the stomach to neutralize excess stomach acid. Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into a gas, which does not apply to solid antacid tablets.


Can the reaction in neutralization antacid tablets be reserved or not?

Chemical reactions can't truly be reversed in any way. Separating the antacid tablet's contents from the water may be possible, but the material won't be a single, whole tablet again, and might not even be a single material at that point.


What kind of reaction is it when antacid tablet reacts with hydrochloric acid?

The reaction between antacid tablets and hydrochloric acid is classed as an acid-base reaction, and is also called a neutralisation reaction. The base or alkali in the reaction is in the antacid tablet. These reactions produce a salt (not necessarily table salt NaCl) and water.


What sort of Antacid tablets are there?

Tums, Rolaids


What relationship between temperature and the rate at which antacid tablets react with water?

A higher temperature generally increases the rate at which antacid tablets react with water. This is because higher temperatures cause molecules to move faster, increasing the frequency of collisions between the reactants and leading to a faster reaction rate.


When some antacid tablets are added to water do they give off oxygen gas?

Some antacid tablets may contain ingredients that react with water to produce a gas, such as carbon dioxide. However, not all antacid tablets will produce oxygen gas when added to water. It depends on the specific chemical composition of the antacid tablet.


Why is salt not put in antacid tablets?

Makes them harder to compress into tablets (and stay as tablets), and does nothing to neutralize acid.


What is the relationship between temperature and the rate at which antacid tablets react with water?

The rate at which antacid tablets react with water generally increases with temperature. Higher temperatures provide more energy to the molecules, leading to faster movement and more frequent collisions between the antacid particles and water molecules. This enhanced interaction accelerates the dissolution process, resulting in a quicker reaction. However, extreme temperatures may also affect the stability of the active ingredients in the antacid.
