Antacids work to relieve stomach acids because of which of the following types of reactions?
a) decomposition
b) double-displacement
c) synthesis
d) single-displacement

The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which larger compound breaks down into two or more smaller compounds.

Double displacement reactions is defined as the chemical reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more smaller compounds combines to form a single large compound.

Single displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction.

In stomach, an acid is present known as hydrochloric acid and to neutralize its effect, antacid is taken which has as a component.

The reaction between HCl and is a type of neutralization reaction and it is a type of double displacement reaction.

The equation between the two follows:

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

the ratio of the conjugate base to the acid required to attain the desired ph.
