From the above, baking soda is used as an antacid. It becomes basic when used with water because it gets attached with OH- ions. They carry out neutralization reaction to neutralize excess of HCl in our stomach which relieves us. Otherwise, they are Magnesium hydroxide- Mg(OH)2 and Aluminum Hydroxide- Al(OH)3.
