18
Q

Property of antacids that assists in the neutralisation of stomach acids

A

Antacids contain weak, non toxic bases such as
Magnesium carbonate, Calcium carbonate, Aluminium hydroxide, Magnesium Hydroxide
that undergoes a mild neutralisation reaction with stomach acid

19
Q

Precision

A

How close multiple measurements of the same investigation are to each other

20
Q

Accuracy

A

How close an experiment value is to a known value

21
Q

What are indicators

A

Weak acids or weak bases that only partially ionise in solution

22
Q

Advantage of using pH Meter over indicators

A

Results are not affected by colour or cloudiness

Values are accurate to 0.01

Some pH meters have an inbuilt calibration for temperature changes.

23
Q

Examples of Natural indicators

A

Litmus
Red Cabbage

24
Q

Examples of commercial indicators

A

Methyl orange
phenolphthalein
Bromothymol Blue
