As indigestion is caused by acid, the pH value is around 2-4.
indigestion needs to be neutralised with a medium strength base and magnesium oxide has one .
yes
The main alkali in Gaviscon is sodium bicarbonate. It works by neutralizing stomach acid to provide relief from heartburn and indigestion.
When an alkali tablet, such as an antacid, reacts with stomach acid (hydrochloric acid), it neutralizes the acid by forming water and a salt. This reaction helps to alleviate symptoms of acid indigestion or heartburn by reducing the acidity in the stomach.
It works by neutralising the hydrochloric acid (HCl) from the stomach, because it is not normal to have a surplus of acid in your stomach. This is a chemical reaction of neutralization for the control of pH. The indigestion tablet has alkaline in them.
Yes, it is. You can tell weather something is an Alkali, Neutral pr acid via the pH scale or, you can tell if something is an alkali from its consistency; if it is sludgy (like washing-up liquid), it is an alkali. So, I am under the influence that washing-up POWDER is too, an alkali.J.S.P. Aged 11
