Question

Write a short analysis on the neutralizing ability of antacid tablets....​

Answer 1

Explanation: GIVEN BELOW

Inside your stomach, excess hydrochloric acid is neutralized by the antacid. Different antacids use

different metal hydroxides, such as Al(OH)3 or Mg(OH)2. The general formula for this reaction is:  

M(OH)y + Y HCl    Y H2O + M+y  + Y Cl‐

Additionally, some brands of antacids use calcium carbonate as a neutralizing reagent.  

CaCO3 + 2 HCl (aq)   H2CO3  (aq) + Ca2+ (aq) + 2 Cl‐

(aq)

The carbonic acid formed in this reaction may undergo further reaction:

H2CO3 (aq)    H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
