What has the same pH level as stomach acid?

Stomach acid is not very strong compared to chemical acids available on the market. One thing that has about the same pH as stomach acid is lemon juice.


Is stomach acid and gastric acid the same?

Yes, stomach acid and gastric acid are the same. Stomach acid, also known as gastric acid, is a digestive fluid produced in the stomach that helps break down food for absorption and kills harmful bacteria.


Is stomach acid the same as acid?

Stomach acid refers specifically to the acidic fluid produced in the stomach to aid digestion. "Acid" is a more general term that can refer to a variety of substances with acidic properties, not necessarily related to digestion.


How do you use muriatic acid to etch concrete?

For anyone interested in the TRUE HCl concentration of muriatic acid (sans WIKIfication) simply google "muriatic acid msds" and you will see that, while the concentration varies by manufacturer, it generally ranges from 33-40%. Furthermore, even if you order HCl by name from a chemical supply house, you order by concentration, usually some reagent grade, with fuming HCl starting at ~40%. No hardware store in the world sells 100% HCl for etching concrete.DANGER / SEVERE HAZARD -- Muriatic Acid IS UNDILUTED (100% concentration) Hydrochloric acid.Wear Eye and face protection, acid resistant gloves, rubber slicker suit, or be VERY careful as Hydrochloric acid is highly corrosive and can instantly burn holes in your skin and tissues, and right through all woven clothing.When diluting ANY acids, it extremely important that you NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID, as the reaction between the two will result in an "explosion" throwing acid instantly in all directions.The PROPER method of diluting acids is to very SLOWLY pour the concentrated acid into a larger volume of water.For an additonal "layer" of safety, do not pour the acid from a large and heavy container, as it is more difficult to handle and control. Pour the needed amount of concentrated acid into a smaller, acid resistant, container which will be easier to handle and therefore control the pour rate.When using baking soda for neutralizing acid residues, be VERY CAREFUL to NOT ALLOW the baking soda to contact the UNDILUTED ACID as the resulting reaction can be explosive!1Bust out some protective clothing and a gas mask. Have a good supply of fresh water on hand in case you need to rinse any body parts. Be very careful with muriatic acid; it's 30% hydrochloric acid, and is fairly hazardous.If you only want to barely 'etch' a slippery concrete surface, it is best to dilute the acid with water, as acid straight from the bottle tends to be very aggressive with any concrete surface, and can badly damage the surface very quickly.For a deeper etch Pour the substance where you want to etch the concrete and spread it out with a nylon broom. let it sit for a half-hour. Wash it thoroughly with the hose after.I have used a small hand held spray bottle set to a fine misty spray, and skipped the 'rinse' step altogether with very good results.'Baking Soda / water solution' is an acid neutralizer, and can be used around most landscape with safe results.>>> Get used to the process FIRST.

What substances functions to control the release of hydrochloric acid to prevent excessive acidity?

I was looking for the answer to this too, and found that Gastrin (a hormone of the stomach) stimulates hydrochloric acid to be released to maintain the appropriate pH level. Are you in the same nutriton class as me? haha cause this is a quiz question for mine.

Why does heartburn burn the esophagus but not the stomach?

That is a good question. You have mucus coat on the inner side of the stomach. This protects the stomach from the attack of the acid and pepsin. There is no such protection available to the esophagus.


Why doesn't stomach acids corrode the intestines?

Because the stomach secretes the acid to break down the food. There is no stomach acid secretions in the intestional tract. Because the stomach secretes the acid to break down the food. There is no stomach acid secretions in the intestional tract.

How do mammals break down food?

Is stomach acid dangerous?

Yes, stomach acid can burn. Gastric acid contains hydrochloric acid, which is a very strong acid. However, the lining of the stomach is protected by a layer of mucus, which prevents the acid from burning the stomach. However, a weakness in the mucus layer or excessive production of stomach acid can result in an ulcer. Excessive vomiting can damage the esophagus due to the burning effects of stomach acid. In addition, excessive vomiting can also damage the teeth for the same reason. However, it's not easy to get burned by your own stomach acid. You won't hurt yourself if you accidentally get vomit on your skin, for example. However, heavy vomiting and frequent heartburn can cause damage to your esophagus, and ulcers can develop and become very painful. You should eat a proper diet, and always consult a doctor if you have frequent heartburn or other pain symptoms in your stomach or lower chest.


What is typical health risks for people with bulimia?

The stomach acid is so strong, it can burn a hole in a rug. It can do the same to the esophagus as the chyme comes up and out of the stomach.


Is pantoprazole the same as antiacid?

No, pantoprazole is not the same as an antacid. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid, while antacids are over-the-counter medications that neutralize existing stomach acid for quick relief of heartburn and indigestion. While both are used to treat acid-related conditions, they work in different ways and are used for different purposes.
