A

When an acid and an alkali are mixed together

21
Q

What is the equation for neutralisation

A

Acid + base ~> Salt + water

22
Q

How are salts named?

A

After the metal, and the acid

23
Q

What does ph does stomach have

A

About 1

24
Q

How is indigestion/heartburn occur?

A

If the stomach acid moves up the digestive tract

25
Q

What are antacids?

A

Medicines that contain bases that can neutralise stomach acids

26
Q

What type of base do you want to counteract the strong stomach acids

A

Weaker because you still want some acid

27
Q

What are two examples bases in antacid medicines
