Chewing an antacid tablet allows it to break down more quickly and mix with saliva, facilitating faster relief from heartburn or indigestion. This enhances the tablet's effectiveness, as the active ingredients can neutralize stomach acid more efficiently. Additionally, chewing helps ensure even distribution of the antacid throughout the stomach when swallowed. Swallowing it whole may delay its action and reduce its effectiveness.

What glands produce a secretion that moistens food making it easier to chew and swallow?
The salivary glands produce a secretion that moistens food, making it easier to chew and swallow.

Saliva not only lubricates food but also contains enzymes that begin the digestive process. This combination of moisture and enzymatic action facilitates the swallowing process and enhances taste.

It doses this by reacting with the acid and producing salt and water. This is it written in basic form antacid tablet is an agent that counteracts or neutralizes acidity (especially in the stomach). why not try this First of all, take a solution which is acidic. To prove to people that the solution is acidic, use a pH paper or pH indicator. note down the pH value. Next, put some antacids tablets in the solution. After the tablets have all dissolved in the solution, use a pH paper/indicator to get the final reading of the pH value of the solution. The pH value should be higher than the initial value. You can diversify this experiment by asking questions like: 1)how many tablets do I need to increase the pH by one? 2) Different tablet manufactures will produce different results, such as absorption rate, the duration of action, etc.
