This Thread is basically a summary of the information found in your Science Book. ( Book 1 Page 116 & 117 )
>Hydrochloric acid is produced in the stomach because it :
- Helps with Digestion -It helps to destroy bacteria that are accidentally consumed
Indigestion occurs when you have too much acid in your stomach
Most use Antacids to correct the problem.
How do antacids help?
Antacids are made of alkali substances and when acid reacts with an alkali , neutralization occurs. Which basically means your stomach is neutralized to the point where the amount of acid is normal.
Acids can be neutralized by metal oxides , hydroxides or metal carbonates.
