ANTACIDS- Classification and Mechanism of Action INTRODUCTION Antacids are defined as a substance‚ generally a base‚ which counteracts stomach acidity. The name antacid means anti-acid (against acid). Antacids are the primary treatment for ailments such as gastric reflux‚ gastritis‚ upset stomach and heartburn. Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the stomach to kill harmful organisms‚ aid digestion and activate digestive enzymes. Excess secretion of acid into stomach or impaired resistance by

mass of calcium carbonate content?Calcium carbonate is a substance found in the eggshells giving them hardness and strength. It is essential to the commercial egg industry that the biggest possible amount of eggs reaches the market. Hence‚ as calcium carbonate reacts steadily with hydrochloric acid to produce carbon dioxide as well as two other substances‚ I investigated which type of an eggshell contains more calcium carbonate. This reaction cannot be used directly to titrate the calcium carbonate
Free Calcium carbonate Chicken
Aim: To investigate the rate of reaction between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid. Just from looking at the aim of the investigation I already know that a salt would be formed because a carbonate with an acid forms a salt. In this investigation the substance that is formed is Calcium Chloride‚ Water and Carbon Dioxide. The symbol equation for this is: CaCo3  Ca2+ + Co32- Hcl  H+ + Cl- Add these all together to get CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq) --> Ca++(aq) + H2O + CO2(g) The rate of

The Enthalpy Change of the Decomposition of Calcium Carbonate _INTRODUCTION_ RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the enthalpy change of the decomposition of calcium carbonate? BACKGROUND: Enthalpy in chemistry can be thought of as the energy contained within the bonds‚ or the internal energy‚ but it is not heat and you can only measure changes in it. When bond bonds break in the reactants energy is given off‚ when bonds form‚ energy is absorbed. If the energy absorbed is less than the energy released

energy will be attainable. Hypothesis: In a reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid‚ the products calcium chloride‚ carbon dioxide and water are formed. I predict that the higher temperature of HCl acid‚ the higher the reaction rate will be‚ this is because at a higher temperature there will more fast-moving hydrochloric acid molecules per set volume. This means that there will be a higher chance of the calcium carbonate molecules colliding with the hydrochloric acid and reacting

Introduction In order to determine the content of calcium and magnesium in an unknown sample of limestone‚ the utilization of atomic absorption spectrophotometry can help in deciphering the unknown concentrations of each molecule in the limestone sample. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry‚ emits radiation of the correct frequency that is passed through a flame and the intensity of the transmitted radiation is measured¹.The calcium concentration or ppm can be measured using the absorbance of the

An Investigation into the Factors Affecting the Rate of the Reaction between Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid A chemical reaction is the process by which atoms or groups of atoms are redistributed‚ resulting in a change in the molecular composition of substances. The reaction rate is how quickly a reaction occurs and this can be affected by four different factors: ¡¤ changing the surface area of any solids involved ¡¤ changing the concentration of reactants in solution ¡¤ changing the temperature

Investigating the rate of reaction between Marble Chips (Calcium Carbonate) and hydrochloric acid Aim. In the investigation I am going to find out how the surface area affects the rate of reaction by measuring the amount of gas produced and weight loss in a reaction between small/large pieces of Marble Chips (Calcium Carbonate) and Hydrochloric acid per minute. Hypothesis. The rate of reaction increases when the surface area of a solid reactant is increased. This happens because by
