Concocting a More Effective Antacid

Author(s):

Heidi L Rowles*

Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to test the effectiveness of two commercial antacids against several acidic solutions and to determine if a newly concocted antacid that was
comprised of both a metal hydroxide and a carbonate would be more effective than the current commercial antacids at neutralizing the pH of the solutions.
Methods: Six acidic products were chosen for this experiment: apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, orange juice, tomato juice, coffee, and jalapeno pepper juice. Hydrochloric acid was used as baseline acid to test each antacid and then mixed with each one of the acidic products to produce “stomach contents”. The antacids used in this experiment were calcium carbonate (CaCO3),
sodium hydroxide (N... view more»
