What else can I help you with?
Can stomach acid kill germs?
Yes. Not all, but many of them.
Can acid in the stomach kill germs?
Yes, stomach acid, primarily hydrochloric acid, helps kill germs and bacteria that we ingest with food or drink. The acidic environment in the stomach destroys many pathogens before they can cause infections.
Do ants have acid?
Many species of ants produce formic acid in their venom.
What chemicals are produced by the stomach to aid enzymes digest protein?
There are many different chemicals in the stomach.Digestive enzymes pepsin, rennin, and lipase interact to break down the food. In addition, hydrochloric acid creates suitable environment for the enzymes and assists in the digestion.
How many times more acidic is stomach acid than a soda drink?
Stomach Acid is Hydrochloric Acid mixed with other substances. The pH of hydrochloric acid is pH = 1. So it is a lot more acidic than a soda drink. Heaven forbid, but when you vomit, that horrible burning sensation is the hydrochloric acid from your stomach, refluxing into your throat/mouth.
How many ml of 0.43 m naoh will be needed to neutralize 10 ml of stomach acid if stomach acid is 0.1 m hcl?
Balanced equation first.NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2OAll one to one so a simple equality will do here.(X ml)(0.43 M NaOH) = (10 ml)(0.1 M HCl)0.43X = 1X = 2.3 milliliters NaOH needed--------------------------------------
What if the stomach does not produce acid?
The mucus on the lining of the stomach protects the stomach from the acids that break down the food. Without this mucus the acids in the stomach would begin to eat away at the lining of the stomach causing stomach ulcers and many other problems.
When you eat too many acidic foods what will be caused in the stomach?
ACID! hence acid reflux, indigestion, etc.
How many milliliters of a 6.00m solution of hydrochloric acid are needed to react with 45.5g of zinc sulfide?
156
How many milliliters of a 50 percent acid solution and how many milliliters of a 20 percent acid solution must be mixed to produce 36 mL of a 30 percent acid solution?
Answer:12mL of 50% solution and 24mL of 20% solution must be mixed to produce 36mL of a 30% acid solutionLet x = 50% acid solutiony = 20% acid solution Equations:x + y = 36mL ----equation (1)0.5x + 0.2y = 0.3 * 360.5x + 0.2y = 10.8multiplying by 105x + 2y = 108 ----equation (2)eliminating equations (1) and (2)-2(x + y = 36)-2-2x -2y = -725x +2y = 108=========3x = 36x=12substitute x=12 to equation (1)12 + y = 36y = 36 - 12y = 24thus 12mL of 50% solution and 24mL of 20% solution must be mixed to produce 36mL of a 30% acid solution
How long does it take for the stomach acid to eat through plastic?
Stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) is typically not strong enough to eat through plastic. The acidic environment in the stomach is primarily meant for breaking down food, and plastic is not easily digested by these acids.
What are the differences between gastritis and peptic ulcer?
