What is the chemical formula for antacid?

Answer 1

The chemical formula for antacids can vary depending on the specific type, but common active ingredients include calcium carbonate (CaCO3), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), and aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3). So, technically speaking, there isn't just one chemical formula for antacids. It's like asking for the recipe for a fruit salad without specifying which fruits you're using.

Answer 2

The chemical formula for ingesting antacid tablets is simply a neutralization reaction. It depends on what base the antacid contains, but common reaction would be NaHCO3 + HCl ----> NaCl + H2O + CO2.

Answer 3

They are all carbonates of some sort. Tums uses calcium carbonate. Rolaids used to be magnesium carbonate, although they may have changed when Tums started advertising that they were also "A great source of calcium!".

Answer 4

the reaction equation depends on the antacid used. Stomach acid is HCl, not H2SO4.

Common equations would include:

Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + 2H2O

Al(OH)3 + 3HCl --> AlCl3 + 3H2O

NaHCO3 + HCl --> CO2 + H2O + NaCl

CaCO3 + 2HCl ---> CO2 + H2O + CaCl2

Answer 5

It depends on the antacid.

NaHCO3 and CaCO3 are both commonly used as antacids as are Mg(OH)2 and Al(OH)3

Answer 6

The most common antacids contain aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3), magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2), and calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Answer 7

antacids are generally basic salts which neutralizes the acid produced in the stomach and are salts such as sodiumbicarbonate.

Answer 8

Antacid tablets may contain calcium carbonate, aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide.
