Chemistry 104: Analysis of Commercial Antacid Tablets Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is one of the substances found in gastric juices secreted by the lining of the stomach. HCl is needed by the enzyme pepsin to catalyze the digestion of proteins in the food we eat. Heartburn is a symptom that results when the stomach produces too much acid (hyperacidity). Antacids are bases used to neutralize the acid that causes heartburn. Despite the many commercial brand‚ almost all antacids act on excess stomach

has‚ on an antacid tablet’s reaction rate. Experimental Details: Issy Madamba - 8D Abstract The aim of the experiment is to find out what effect on surface area has for dissolving antacid tablets. The method used is to have crushed up tablets‚ for more surface area‚ and whole tablets‚ less surface area‚ to see which of the two subjects dissolve faster. The results for this experiment have shown up to be: the crushed tablets generally dissolve faster‚ rather than the whole tablets. Introduction

EFFECTIVENESS OF COMMERCIAL ANTACIDS INTRODUCTION pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. Pure water is said to be neutral‚ with a pH close to 7.0 at 25 °C (77 °F). Solutions with a pH less than 7 are said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline. An antacid is a substance which neutralizes stomach acidity. Antacids perform a neutralization reaction‚ increasing the pH to reduce acidity in the stomach. When gastric hydrochloric acid reaches

Analysis of an Antacid In this lab report we will discuss the results of the ‘Determining the Most Effective Antacids’ lab. In this lab we tested different brands of antacids to find out which will be the most effective at neutralizing acids. We will test this by seeing how much drops of hydrochloric acid (HCl) are required to neutralize a certain amount of the antacid. Antacids are used to resist heartburn. We sometimes use them to treat this because antacids are a mild base that can neutralize

Apparatus Titration apparatus Principle In this experiment you are required to determine the vitamin C content of a commercial tablet and compare this with the manufacturers specification. Vitamin C is ascorbic acid‚ which is rapidly and quantitatively
Premium Iodine Titration Vitamin C
Analysis of Commercial Vitamin C Tablets Aim: To employ iodometric titration to determine the content of vitamin C in commercial tablets using volumetric analysis and compares it with the manufacturersÂ’ specifications. Introduction Vitamin C is an essential substance for maintaining good health and it is proved to be the agent which prevents scurvy. Most animals can synthesize their own vitamin C‚ but some‚ such as human cannot. Owing to the increasing concern for oneÂ’s health
Premium Iodine Vitamin C Titration
Analysis of commercial vitamin C tablets Objective To determine the vitamin C content in commercial vitamin C tablets by titration between vitamin C (ascorbic acid) & iodine solution. Hence‚ compare this data with the manufacturer ’s specification. Principle In this analysis‚ certain amount of iodine solution‚ which is known in excess‚ is added to acidified ascorbic acid solution. Brown iodine can be easily reduced by acidified ascorbic acid to form colourless iodide ion:

Testing the Effectiveness of Commercial based Antacids Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine‚ by testing several dissolved commercial antacid solutions‚ which can best neutralize acid and is the most effective for heartburn. Hypothesis: If all three different types of Antacid were tested and neutralized with the Hydrochloric acid‚ then the one that would be the most effective antacid would be the TUM’s Ultra Strength Calcium because it is larger and because it is Ultra Strength‚
