Antacid

Antacid Potency Temi Aladegbemi and Ge’vonta Stewart Chemistry Honors 6th pd Central Gwinnett High School 9 September 2017 Abstract: When an acid and a base combine, the base neutralizes the acid in a chemical reaction. This is how an antacid works (Gomez). During this project, we will test which of the 3 generic brand antacids chosen are most potent in neutralizing lemon and grape juice. This can be helpful in a real life situations, if you are experiencing heartburn, acid reflux, and/or dietary problems. This experiment will help you decide which antacid actually diffuses the acid in your stomach and has the fastest effect. The results of the study that we have found is that if you have any upset stomach, heartburn, or constipation…

Antacids are a class of medicine which assist to balance the acidity/ pH balance in your stomach. The pH system is a scale which measures how acidic a substance is or how basic a substance is or if a substance is neutralized. Antacids have the ability to give relief for heartburn, indigestion or symptoms of acid reflux. There are many types of antacids such as calcium, aluminum and magnesium. They’re many ways to consume antacids such as liquids, tablets and chewable tablets. The experiment will…

An antacid is composed of a basic chemical compound (the active ingredient), which is an essential component of a neutralization reaction. When this compound along with an acidic compound (HCl) dissociates, it react and form neutralized components such as water and a salt. This is an ideal mechanism of action for individuals who suffer from acid reflux or heartburn conditions because the excessive HCl that is found in the stomach can be alleviated by ingesting antacid tablets. This experiment…

bowel and oesophagus and acts as a barrier against the acid. If the layer of mucous gets damaged, the stomach acid can aggravate and cause inflammation to the stomach; this leads to indigestion or heartburn. Antacids are medicines that can relieve symptoms of indigestion by neutralising the acid in the stomach. They are made up of bases and carbonates and can be taken as a liquid or a tablet. Another way to minimise the risk…

Heartburn Heartburn is a burning pain that can happen in the throat or chest. It may also cause a bad taste in the mouth. Heartburn may feel worse in certain positions, such as lying down or bending over. This condition is caused by stomach acid that has gotten into the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach (esophagus). HOME CARE INSTRUCTIONS Diet • Follow a diet as recommended by your health care provider. This may involve avoiding foods and drinks such as: ○ Caffeine.…

The topic involves the relationship between acidic and basic solutions. Most people at one time in their lives have had stomach pain. Antacids are used to sooth your stomach (Fleishman). This project will test which antacids are the strongest. During the experiment there will be several test tubes filled with a “natural acid-base indicator” (Fleishman). Then, antacids will be dropped into each test tube. This will answer the question, “Which antacids are most potent in changing the color of the…

Antacids are a form of medication that many people take to help with an imbalance of the pH of their stomach acid because it neutralizes the gastric acid present (Antacids | Drugs.com). Although the is not just one brand of antacid that is available to people, and most people want to take the best antacid that will help with their acid imbalance. In our lab, we were given the question of which antacid out of the antacids provided to us was the “best” at neutralizing stomach acid. To answer that…

Aim: To use cabbage as an indicator for whether lemon juice, soft drink and antacid are acids or bases. Hypothesis: The lemon juice will be a reasonably strong acid but not so much that it can burn your tongue if consumed. The soft drink will be a weak acid, it is not as acidic as lemon and is safe to drink. I think antacid will be an acid. Theory: An indicator is used to determine the position of a substance on the pH scale. In this experiment, red cabbage is used because it contains a pigment…

ANTACID ANALYSIS: DETERMINATION OF STOMACH ACID NEUTRALIZATION USING ANTACIDS Authors: Alexxis Harris Constance Doty Brandon Hokenson Gavin Hunt Melissa Munoz Affiliation: Department of Chemistry, University of Central Florida Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to identify which antacid is the best at neutralizing stomach acid. Antacids are commonly used self-prescribed medications. The stomach produces hydrochloric…

arrangement in order to determine the effectiveness of neutralizing of a commercial antacid, per gram. When the arrangement is set we will test the different variations of the experiment, for example during step A we will be my partner and I will be determining the mass of the antacid and preparing the antacid for analysis. For step C my partner and I will be using what we have recorded in order to complete the calculations. Another reason for conducting this experiment is too figure what kind…
