Answer:
Explanation:
When sodium bicarbonate and acid meet in the stomach, a chemical reaction occurs that lowers the acidity of the stomach. For this reason, sodium bicarbonate is commonly used in antacids. When taken as an antacid, it works to neutralize stomach acid and produce relief from indigestion. This is because the reaction between these substances happens quickly, soon after the sodium bicarbonate is ingested.
