The main reactive chemicals are magnesium carbonate and/or magnesium hydroxide.
Both react with excess stomach acid, to neutralise the acid.
Excess stomach acid is evidenced by 'reflux'(heart burn), where the contents of the stomach momentarily bubble up to the throat.
The stomach normally digests food in a pH evironment of '1'(one). This occurs naturally by the stomach walls secreting hydrochloric acid (HCl) into the stomach. That horrible burning sensation on reflux is the hydrochloric acid.
So the reaction schemes to settlethe stomach are
MgCO3 + 2HCl = MgCl2 + H2O + CO2 (burp!!!!)
Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl = MgCl2 + 2H2O
Notice in both cases the salt magnesium chloride is produced and water. Hence dlluting the stomach contents.
Eating too much food and particularly fatty food, makes the stomach work harder, to produce more hydrochloric acid, hence with an overful stomach you may suffer with reflux.
Eating acidic fruit , Oranges, apples strawberries etc., aids the digestion by supplementing the hydrochloric acid content; 'common ion effect'.
Some antacid tablets may contain ingredients that react with water to produce a gas, such as carbon dioxide. However, not all antacid tablets will produce oxygen gas when added to water. It depends on the specific chemical composition of the antacid tablet.
No. An antacid tablet dropped in water produces carbon dioxide.
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.
The present tense verb of "acrylic paints contain special chemicals" is "contain." In English grammar, the present tense indicates actions that are currently happening or habitual actions. Therefore, when referring to the special chemicals in acrylic paints, the correct form of the verb would be "contain," as it signifies the ongoing presence of these chemicals in the paints.
Organic chemicals, which contain carbon, and inorganic chemicals, which do not contain carbon, are the two categories based on carbon content. Organic chemicals are typically associated with living organisms and often contain carbon-carbon bonds.
Not sure
Most antacids contain oxygen and some sort of metal (calcium, sodium, potassium, aluminum, and magnesium are common). Additionally, most will contain hydrogen (in Mg(OH)2 and Al(OH)3), carbon (in CaCO3), or both (in NaHCO3 and KHCO3).
because it has special chemicals

No. An antacid tablet dropped in water produces carbon dioxide.
Everything contains chemicals dude
Antacid tablets typically contain active ingredients such as calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, or aluminum hydroxide. These ingredients help neutralize excess stomach acid and provide relief from heartburn and indigestion. Antacid tablets may also contain inactive ingredients such as flavoring agents, sweeteners, and binding agents.
