Answer 1

=>antacid : a medicine that prevents or reduces too much acid, especially in the stomach

=>Antacids work based on a very simple principle of basic chemistry:

Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water

When you add an equal amount and strength of an acid substance to an alkali substance, the resulting chemical reaction turns the acid and alkali into salt and water. Both acids and alkalis are corrosive, but salt and water are, of course, harmless substances.
