What reaction occurs in the stomach between the acid and antacid?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
antacid is usually flavoured calcium, which is an alkali/base. This reacts with the acid in the stomach to produce salt and water, relieving the distressing effects of too much acid.
Antacids counteract with acids, neutralizing any excess acidity.

What reaction occurs when acid meets antacid in the stomach?
There are many different types of antacids, each with a slightly different mechanism of action. All of these neutralize stomach acid (HCl) through some reaction. The Example below uses calcium carbonate, which is used in the popular antacid "Tums". 2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2 A way to envision this reaction is that the hydrochloric acid "eats away" at the calcium carbonate, forming CaCl2, an ionic species, and H2CO3 (carbonic acid) which is not stable at standard conditions. This rapidly decays to H2O and CO2 at normal pressures (like when you open a can of soda), which is why these are written on the products side of the reaction.
What digests the food in your stomach?
In the stomach, digestion of proteins occurs from the reaction with hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice.
What reaction occurs between two bases?
Normally no reaction will occur between two bases.
What type of reaction occurs between hexene and hydrogen?
The type of reaction that occurs between Hexene and Hydrogen is nothing when the unactivated catalyst is around 100 degrees. When it is between 200 and 300 degrees there is extensive reaction.
