As an antacid is added to hydrochloric acid (HCl), the pH of the solution initially increases due to the neutralization reaction between the acid and the basic components of the antacid. Over time, as more antacid is introduced, the pH continues to rise until it stabilizes at a higher value, depending on the amount and strength of the antacid used. If the antacid is sufficient to neutralize all the HCl, the pH will approach neutral (around 7). However, if excess antacid is added, the pH may rise above 7, indicating a basic solution.
