Formal Lab Report Analysis of Antacid Tablets I. Introduction An acid-base titration is a method of neutralizing strong acids. Unbeknownst to many‚ acid-base titrations occur on a daily basis. Our stomachs use acid to help us digest our food – approximately .155 hydrochloric acid (HCl) with a pH of 2-3. When too much of this acid is formed in the stomach‚ heartburn and other discomfort occurs. This is when people grab for their antacids; these are bases that neutralize the

WHICH ANTACID WILL NEUTRALIZE STOMACH ACID THE BEST AND IS MOST COST- EFFECTIVE? Description This experiment was conducted to find out how effective different types and brands of antacids are at neutralizing acid. I also looked at the cost of each product in order to determine if my hypothesis would be correct. The experiment was done using 4 brands of antacid‚ Pepto-Bismol‚ Gaviscon‚ Tums and Tagamet. Hypothesis All the antacids will neutralize different amounts of acid but the most

Antacids are bases used to neutralize the acid that causes heartburn. Despite the many commercial brand‚ almost all antacids act on excess stomach acid by
