The total mass will remain the same. The Law of Mass Conservation that matter cannot be created or destroyed. So, as long as the acid and the base react in a closed system (none of the products escape measurement) the mass will remain the same. The only way the total mass could seem less then the original mass would be because some of the water, that is always created in the reaction of an acid or base, has evaporated. Or in the case of Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) carbon dioxide is released when it reacts with an acid, so unless it reacts in a closed system, that mass will escape measure.

When a acid reacts with an alkali what are the twp products are formed what are they?

When an acid reacts with an alkali, the two products formed are salt and water. This reaction is called neutralization, where the acid donates a proton (H+) to the alkali to form water, and the remaining ions from the acid and alkali combine to form a salt.

How does a alkali tablet react with stomach acid?

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.
