Gastric acid

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…

experiment performed provided insight on the importance of acid-base interactions and the pH of solutions that are involved in a variety of aspects including industrial, environmental, and biological contexts. Back titration was used to determine the number of moles of HCl acid that were neutralized by a single tablet of several variations of commercial antacids. In theory, the antacid that neutralized the largest number of moles of acid was found to be the most effective. The results attained…

alcohol while eating, or eating greasy, fried or spicy foods. Acid in the stomach helps digest food and prevents infection. Mucus lines the stomach, 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…

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 be tested with three different antacids which are: bismuth ($5.99) (picture 1&4), life brand milk of magnesia ($8.99) (picture 2&3) and Gaviscon ($11.99) (picture 5). Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to figure out the best brand of antacid…

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 question me must first establish what makes…

There are two mean reasons that a psychological evaluation is required for a bariatric surgery: 1) It is a requirement put in place by most insurance carrier 's to identify any underlining eating disorders or anything that will hinder the success of the outcome of the surgery.The evaluations are not to eliminate patient 's, but rather to make certain that the patient is in stable mental health and to understand the impact that the surgery will have in their lives. 2) To assure the success of…

Noor Diabi 11AA The life of hydrochloric acid in our stomach Chapter 14 section 1 25/04/2016 Ms. Sara Kassem Sharjah American International School Topic one: Discuss the role of hydrochloric acid in the digestion of foods. Point out how excess acid contributes to the discomfort known as indigestion. Explain how the stomach secretes a mucous layer, which protects it from being damaged by the hydrochloric acid it produced.  Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a clear, liquid. Which is produced in…

time. One of the disorders that can be seen if the homeostasis fails to occur is the acid-base balance. For a person to be in a good health, the maintenance of acid and base should be balanced in the body which is an essential function of the body in the biological process. The most important aspect in the prevention…

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 acidic solution?” The strength of an acid or base is designated by its pH on a scale of 0 to 14 (Fleishman). A pH of 7 is thought of…

food digestion there are chemical and physical changes occurring. One chemical change for example would be, metabolic rate which is the rate of energy that is released from macronutrients. Carbohydrates (Glucose: C6H12O6), proteins (Alanine(amino acid) CH3) , and fats (Lauric…
