PREFACE
This project explores the role of antacids in alleviating digestive discomfort,
specifically focusing on their chemical properties, effectiveness, and types.
Antacids are commonly used to neutralize excess stomach acid, providing relief
from conditions like heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux.
The aim of this project is to understand how antacids work at the chemical level,
their common ingredients, and how they interact with stomach acid (hydrochloric
acid). Through experiments, analysis of various antacid brands, and examination of
their components, this project investigates the factors that influence their
effectiveness.
The findings will help in understanding how antacids contribute to digestive health
and provide insights into choosing the appropriate type based on individual needs.
This exploration is important for improving consumer knowledge and promoting
informed decisions regarding over-the-counter digestive remedies.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The successful completion of any task would be incomplete without mentioning
the names of those people who have helped to make it possible. I would like to
express my heartfelt gratitude to the Principal, Dr. Bhubaneswari Rao, for
providing me such a wonderful opportunity for doing this research and allowing
me to enhance my knowledge on Chemistry. I take this opportunity to express my
gratitude in few words and respect to all those who helped me in the completion of
this project on “Antacids”.
I would not have been able to complete this project without the assistance of my
Chemistry teacher,Mr.Kmlesh Kumar Karn ,and the Chemistry Lab
Assistant,Mr. Birendra Mandal, who have actively helped me for the
accomplishment of my project. It is my humble pleasure to acknowledge my deep
senses of gratitude and heartfelt indebtedness to them for their valuable support
and constant encouragement. An attempt at this project would have never taken
place if it was not for their constant guidance and for this I wholeheartedly thank
them.
I would also like to thank my friends and family for their endless support without
which I could not have completed this work in time. Their undivided support and
attention has always inspired and motivated me in the completion and
improvement of this project. It has been a great pleasure of mine to work on this
project and I am thoroughly grateful towards all those who have directly and
indirectly helped me with making this project.
