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).

In your stomach there is gastric acid. Sometimes your stomach produces too much of this acid and causes pains. This is called indigestion. You can stop indigestion by taking an antacid tablet. An antacid tablet is a tablet containing alkali. Most antacid tablets are weak based and have enough alkali in them to cancel out MOST of the acid. It doses this by reacting with the acid and producing salt and water. This is it written in basic form antacid tablet is an agent that counteracts or neutralizes acidity (especially in the stomach). why not try this First of all, take a solution which is acidic. To prove to people that the solution is acidic, use a pH paper or pH indicator. note down the pH value. Next, put some antacids tablets in the solution. After the tablets have all dissolved in the solution, use a pH paper/indicator to get the final reading of the pH value of the solution. The pH value should be higher than the initial value. You can diversify this experiment by asking questions like: 1)how many tablets do I need to increase the pH by one? 2) Different tablet manufactures will produce different results, such as absorption rate, the duration of action, etc.
