Which antacid is most effective in neutralizing acid?
MariacarmenRamona
Anything containing Magnesium carbonate.
When a human suffers from acidosis/heartburn/reflux, the stomach is making too much acid.
The stomach works at pH ~ 1 , and the acid is hydrochloric acid.
Remember 'Acid + carbonate reacts to form salt plus water plus carbon dioxide.
So anything containing magnesium CARBONATE will react with the excess stomach acid to neutralise it.
MgCO3 + 2HCl = MgCl2 + H2O + CO2.
The 'salt' is magnesium chloride ; harmless to humans.
The water dilutes the contents of the stomach.
The Carbon Dioxide gas given off is the 'burp'!!!!!!
Magnesium carbonate is a horrible chalky taste, but proprietary medicines mask this taste by adding something 'sweeter/more palatable to the taste.
NB Calcium Carbonate will do the same job, but it is chalk / limestone.

What mineral formations would be most effective at neutralizing acid rain nitrogen oxygen calcium carbonate magnesium acetate or baking soda?
acid rain is acidic. so a base like baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can be used to neutralize it.
What organs is considered the most effective regulator of blood carbonic acid levels?
The lungs are the most effective regulator of carbonic acid levels. They can change levels through changing respiratory depth and speed.
Is stomach acid or mucus a barrier to infection that is most effective against cholera bacteria?
i think it is stomach acid
Antacid is the name given to the medicines neutralise acids in the stomach why are they called antacids?
"Antacid" is a contraction of "anti-acid", the logical name for such compounds that oppose the normal actions of acids. (In most instances in English in which the prefix "anti" is attached to a word beginning with a vowel sound, the "i" from "anti" is dropped for easier pronunciation.)

Which antacid Rolaids Tums or Equate is best at neutralizing acid?
Which ever one has the most Ca2C03, or calcium carbonate.
What mineral formation would be most effective at neutralizing acid rain?
I suppose Chalk is one of the most effective. It reacts easily with acid, neutralizing it. It is readily available, and it is cheap, in other words very costeffective. It is not a dangerous compound and don't make poison in the process of neutralizing acid rain. Other minerals might be more effective (out of my knowledge) but will not be as readily available and cheap as chalk is.
What would be most effective in neutralizing acid rain - nitrogen oxygen calcium carbonate magnesium acitate or baking soda?
calcium carbonate
How does indigestion remedy help indigestion?
that remedy is called antacid and is helps with indigestion because you can the remedy 'antacid'. antacid contains weak bases.bases neutralize acid by reacting with them to form water and a salt. the reason the weak bases are used instead of strong bases is because strong bases would neutralize to much acid and would most likely kill you.

In your stomach there is gastric acid. Sometimes your stomach produces too much of this acid and causes pains. This is called indigestion.You can stop indigestion by taking an antacid tablet.

It doses this by reacting with the acid and producing salt and water. This is it written in basic formantacid tablet is an agent that counteracts or neutralizes acidity (especially in the stomach).Read more: What_is_an_antacid_tablet_and_how_does_it_work

How does indigestion tablets relive pain?
