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.
What else can I help you with?
Is nitrogen given off when antacid tablets are dropped in water?
No. An antacid tablet dropped in water produces carbon dioxide.
Does Antacid tablet contains any acid or only weak base or alkali?
no antacid tablets have acids they are used against the acids in our stomach.they have weak bases which neutralise the acids. they also have ingredients that act against the histamine present which stimulates acid secretion...
Do antacid tablets contain a base that neutralizes stomach acid?
Yes, antacid tablets typically contain a base such as calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, or aluminum hydroxide that helps neutralize stomach acid by reacting with it to form a salt and water. This helps to relieve symptoms of heartburn and indigestion.
What does antacid tablet do to excess acid in your stomach?
Antacid tablets work by neutralizing excess acid in the stomach, which helps provide relief from conditions like indigestion, heartburn, and acid reflux. They contain ingredients such as calcium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide that react with the acid to produce salt and water, thereby reducing acidity in the stomach.
Can antacid reaction be reversed?
no. it is a chemical reaction. and so it cannot be reversed.
What elements make up antacid tablets?
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.
Is nitrogen given off when antacid tablets are dropped in water?
No. An antacid tablet dropped in water produces carbon dioxide.
Does Antacid tablet contains any acid or only weak base or alkali?

How does Rennie's antacid tablets neutralise stomach acid?
The alkali in the Rennie tablets neutralize the Hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
Do antacid tablets contain a base that neutralizes stomach acid?
Yes, antacid tablets typically contain a base such as calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, or aluminum hydroxide that helps neutralize stomach acid by reacting with it to form a salt and water. This helps to relieve symptoms of heartburn and indigestion.
Does an antacid tablet evaporate?
No, antacid tablets do not evaporate. They are solid tablets designed to dissolve in water or in the stomach to neutralize excess stomach acid. Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into a gas, which does not apply to solid antacid tablets.
Why is salt not put in antacid tablets?
Makes them harder to compress into tablets (and stay as tablets), and does nothing to neutralize acid.
What does antacid tablet do to excess acid in your stomach?

Can antacid reaction be reversed?
no. it is a chemical reaction. and so it cannot be reversed.
When some antacid tablets are added to water do they give off oxygen gas?
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.
Why does antacid fizz in water?
Antacid tablets contain ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate, which react with water to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas creates fizzing as bubbles are released, making the tablet dissolve and neutralize excess stomach acid.
Is there a simple diagram of antacid tablets in the stomach?
How do antacid tablets work?
