How do antacid tablets work?
Can antacid reaction be reversed?
no. it is a chemical reaction. and so it cannot be reversed.
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.

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.
Do antacid tablets dissolve into luquid solid or gas in the stomach?
Antacid tablets dissolve into the stomach fluid and lower the PH but keeping it an acid. They are turned into more of a liquid than the solid they were prior. Under a microscope the antacid tablet is still in a solid for but it is reduced or diluted by the stomach fluid. A little mare about antacid tablets. Antacid tablets do just what the name suggests. Antacid neutralizes a low PH fluid in your stomach. Neutral PH is 7 on the PH scale. PH of 1 would be hydrochloric acid and others in that PH range. PH of 12 would be something like sudsy water soapy water. If the PH of the stomach fluid gets acidic the PH will drop to a lower number that is considered acidic. You can reduce the acid in your stomach by introducing another acid like vinegar or calcium or salt.
