Question

hydrochloric acid does not corrode the lining of our stomach give reasons? plz tell anyone I am bit confused about the answer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Though HCl is a strong acid it becomes diluted in our stomach because we contain alot of water in our body/stomach and also mucus is secreted by the gastric glands which prevents HCl to corrode.as a result the walls of the stomach won't be hurted/digested by HCl.

Answer 2

★ Hydrochloric acid does not corrode the inne lining of our stomach because the inner lining of stomach is covered with a thick and protective covering if mucus.

★ Additional Information:

• Mucus is a normal, slippery and stringy fluid substance produced by many lining tissues in the body.
• Mucus also acts as a trap for irritants like dust, smoke, or bacteria
