Acid in the stomach is actually not neutralized in the stomach, as you probably already know there is a layer of mucus inside your stomach to prevent the acid from digesting it. However, acid in the stomach (H+ ions) is neutralized in the duodenum with a base (HCO3- bicarbonate ion) that is found in the pancreatic fluid. The products of this chemical reaction are an undigestable salt and water.

How the effect of Formic acid and Lactic acid are neutralised in everyday life?

Formic acid can be neutralized by using baking soda, which is a base. Lactic acid can be neutralized by consuming calcium-rich foods like milk or taking calcium supplements, as calcium acts as a buffer in the body to neutralize acids.

How is hydrochloric acid so dangerous because you have in it your stomach and you don't die?

Your stomach has a mucous lining which protects the stomach tissues from the acid. The acid is still dangerous; - If you vomit it up, it can burn your throat. - If the stomach mucous isn't being produced properly, the acid will damage the stomach lining, causing an ulcer. - After exiting the stomach through the pyloric sphincter, the acid is neutralised by alkaline bile. One other factor is human stomach acid is usually diluted by the things dissolved into it. Hydrochloric acid becomes less dangerous when diluted, but much more dangerous when concentrated.

Why is stomach acid neutralised by pancreatic juice and bile in the small intestine?

As food passes through the digestive system, the digestive processes attack different types of food - carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The breakdown of proteins requires an acid environment (in the stomach region) while the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates needs an alkaline environment. Thus the Ph of the gut is changed when food leaves the stomach.
