Not sure, but I think the pH is about 3, so....
1/103
= 0.001 M HCl
===========
Hydrochloric acid.
The most important ingredient of gastric juice is hydrochloric acid.
Yes it is. The proper name for it is Gastric Acid.
Hydrochloric acid
gastric juice is made of · A protease called pepsin. · Dilute HCl which activates the pepsin and provides the correct pH for it to work. Also kills bacteria. · Mucus - which protects the wall of the stomach from self digestion and acid damage. = Gastic Acid.
The fluid in the body with the highest hydrogen ion concentration is typically the stomach acid (gastric acid) due to the presence of hydrochloric acid. This highly acidic environment aids in digestion and helps to kill ingested pathogens.
Hydrochloric Acid
Gastric juice is secreted from gastric glands, which are located in narrow tube like structures called gastric pits. Gastric juice contains hydrochloric acid, pepsinogenand mucus in a healthy adult. Hydrochloric acid is secreted by parietal cells, pepsinogen is secreted by gastric chief cells and mucus is secreted by mucus neck cells. Source: Wikipedia
The stomach contains gastric juices for chemical digestion.
orange juice is an acid and when it comes in contact with gastric juices it just makes you burp and feel sick because it reacts with the gastric juice and creates hydrochloric oxide
describe two ways on how the hydrolic acid in the gastric juice contribute in the chemicaldigestion of food in the stomach
Hydrochloric acid is the main acid present in gastric fluid, typically at a concentration of about 0.5% to 1.5%. This strong acid helps to break down food in the stomach and create an acidic environment that is essential for digestion and the activation of enzymes.
