Answer:
Acidity of stomach has to be neutralized by a base, without affecting or damaging the cells of the body.
Ca(OH)² is highly caustic while Mg(OH)² is not, because it has very low solubility in water. Similarly, NaHCO³ is a weak base.
Thus, NaHCO³ and Mg(OH)² are used as an antacid (against gastric acids like HCl).
NaHCO³+HCl→NaCl+H²O+CO²↑
Mg(OH)² +2HCl→MgCl² +2H² O

Answer:
One mechanism the body uses to control blood pH involves the release of carbon dioxide from the lungs. Carbon dioxide, which is mildly acidic, is a waste product of the processing (metabolism) of oxygen and nutrients (which all cells need) and, as such, is constantly produced by cells. It then passes from the cells into the blood. The blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs, where it is exhaled. As carbon dioxide accumulates in the blood, the pH of the blood decreases (acidity increases).
