The human stomach is highly acidic, which is necessary for its function, but if this pH balance is disrupted, the stomach can become too acidic and cause heartburn. In order to return the pH to normal levels, pepto-bismol must have a higher pH than the hydrochloric acid, but not necessarily a basic one.

I have indigestion and don't have any medications to take. Is there anything I could take?

You could take an over the counter drug, such as peptobismal or zantac.


What is normal pH level for pool water?

7.5 is almost unanamously the perfect pH. It is the reccommended range that often varies. Bather comfort, type of sanitizer, type of pool surface and type of shock are all factors that change the range. As an average, a pH of 7.2 - 7.7 is commonly acceptable.


Can your large dos take peptobismal for an upset stomic?

Assuming you mean "large dog", never give an animal a medicine meant for a human without a veterinarian prescribing it and telling you how much to give it.


Where to get Dyflogest?

You can order it from the Dyflogest website. I won't post it here because I don't know the policy on posting links. If you google Dyflogest it'd be one of the first pages. You might be able to get it from a pharmacy, but I haven't seen it at any recently. Dyflogest does pretty much what Peptobismal does, so if you have trouble finding Dyflogest, you could always use Peptobismal.


What is the most acidic pH 10 pH 3 pH 2 pH 6 pH 8 pH 12 pH 1 pH 75?

pH 1 is the most acidic, as it is closest to 0 on the pH scale. Lower pH values indicate higher acidity.

How you can test the pH of solution?

You can test the pH of a solution using pH strips, pH meters, or pH indicator solutions. With pH strips, you simply dip the strip into the solution and compare the color change to a pH color chart. pH meters provide a digital pH value by immersing the electrode into the solution. pH indicator solutions change color based on the pH of the solution, allowing for a visual estimation of pH.


How do we find out the pH?

The pH is determined with a pH-meter.


How do you measure pH accurately in a solution?

To measure pH accurately in a solution, you can use a pH meter or pH strips. A pH meter provides a digital reading of the pH level, while pH strips change color based on the pH level of the solution. Simply dip the pH meter probe or pH strip into the solution and read the pH value indicated.


Which ranges on the pH scale are acidic basic and neutral?

pH 0 < acidic < pH 7 neutral = pH 7 pH 7 < basic < pH 14


What pH values indicates a solution with the highest concentration of hydrogen ions pH equals 1 or pH equals 2 or Ph equals 7or pH equals 14?

pH = 14 is basic pH = 7 is neutral pH - 1 and 2 are acidic; pH = 1 is more acidic than pH = 2 Therefore a solution at pH 1 has higher concentration of H+ than at pH 14
