Answer:
Explanation:
Antacids are weak bases
We have acidity whenever HCL secreted in our stomach is more than required and we take antacid to neutralise its effect.
Thus we can say antacid are basic in nature. Eg MILK OF MAGNESIA
Mg(OH)2
Antacids work by counteracting (neutralising) the acid in your stomach. They do this because the chemicals in antacids are bases (alkalis) which are the opposite of acids. A reaction between an acid and base is called neutralisation.
