Antacid molecules dissociate in the stomach into some R+ group and an OH- group (hydroxide). The hydroxide reacts with an H3O+ ion (hydronium) to form two H2O molecules. The reduction in H3O+ concentration corresponds to increased pH (decreased acidity).
1) ROH -> R+ + OH-
2) OH- + H3O+ -> 2H2O
pH = -ln([H3O+])/ln(10)
Being a base magnesium hydroxide act as an antacid.
The effectiveness of an antacid can be determined based on its active ingredients and the specific symptoms it targets. Additionally, factors such as dosage, onset of action, and duration of relief can also influence the effectiveness of an antacid. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help determine the most appropriate antacid for individual needs.
Yes, it is a antacid.
Yes, it is a antacid.
Antacid is basic, not acidic.
An antacid is considered a base.
The goal of an antacid is to counteract the acids in the body.
How do antacid tablets work?
"Antacid" in English is antiacido in Italian.
The pH increase with the help of an antacid.
The antacid solution or bromocresol purple will turn yellow when the antacid is no longer effective. This change in color indicates that the solution has become more acidic, suggesting that the antacid is no longer effective in neutralizing stomach acid.
no. it is a chemical reaction. and so it cannot be reversed.
