Aim:
To find which powder, of four, is best for neutralising excess stomach
acid.
Prediction:
With stomach pain relief powders being a consumer product, I
predict that the best cure for neutralising a build up of stomach acid
will be the one which has the lowest cost to successfully neutralise the
dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) (0.5 mol) (to represent the excess acid
found in our stomachs). This powder would have be the one which costs less
than any of the others to bring the acid build up to a neutral pH of 7. ... I will be measuring how much hydrochloric acid it
takes to neutralise 25. ...
Stomach Powders:
The powders in question are used for curing acid indigestion. Heartburn
and acid indigestion is discomfort in the upper digestive tract. ... Symptoms of this malady include: belching or slight
regurgitation of stomach contents into the mouth, giving an acid taste,
burning or uncomfortable feeling in the chest, difficulty swallowing, mild
abdominal pain or bloating, and occasional nausea or vomiting. ... Neutralising the excess hydrochloric acid in the
stomach can treat acid indigestion. ... Alka-Seltzer has aspirin, which could be a
stomach irritant.
