Answer:
Calcium carbonate contains the carbonate ion.
Calcium carbonate accepts free H+ ions.
When an acid reacts with a carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is one of the products.
If antacids are dissolved prior to ingestion, the reaction between carbonate and hydrogen is faster.
Explanation:
on edg... Good Luck!!!
The antacids containing calcium carbonate are able to form water and carbon dioxide and thereby neutralizing acids.
Antacids are responsible for the neutralization of the acid i.e. [tex]\rm H^+[/tex].
The antacids containing calcium carbonate are able to differentiate into calcium and carbonate ions. The carbonate ions have a tendency to react with the available hydrogen ion and form salts.
The calcium carbonate reaction with HCl will be:
[tex]\rm CaCO_3\;+\;HCl\;\rightarrow\;CaCl_2\;+H_2O\;+\;CO_2[/tex]
The products formed are able to inhibit and deal with the acidity in the gut of the humans.
