Why do antacid tablets contain acid?
Antacid tablets are alkaline that take part in neutralisation reactions in the stomach if it is too acidic. It acts like bicarbonate of soda (which people take when having an upset stomach). What happens is that when your stomach is highly ionised, the alkaline reacts with the acid in the stomach (HCl) to higher the pH.
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 elements make up antacid tablets?
The main ingredient in antacid tablets is calcium carbonate, also known as calcite or chalk. Calcium neutralizes the acid when taken.

An antacid tablet is a tablet containing alkali. Most antacid tablets are weak based and have enough alkali in them to cancel out MOST of the acid. It doses this by reacting with the acid and producing salt and water. This is it written in basic form antacid tablet is an agent that counteracts or neutralizes acidity (especially in the stomach). why not try this First of all, take a solution which is acidic. To prove to people that the solution is acidic, use a pH paper or pH indicator. note down the pH value. Next, put some antacids tablets in the solution. After the tablets have all dissolved in the solution, use a pH paper/indicator to get the final reading of the pH value of the solution. The pH value should be higher than the initial value. You can diversify this experiment by asking questions like: 1)how many tablets do I need to increase the pH by one? 2) Different tablet manufactures will produce different results, such as absorption rate, the duration of action, etc.
