Question

in this experiment, which antacid was the most effective buffer? a alumina/magnesium trisilicate b famotidine c sodium bicarbonate citric acid d chewable antacid of calcium carbonate e calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide the dose of antacids greatly influences their buffering capacity with acid. in this experiment, you measured the buffering capacity of one recommended dose of antacids. how would your results change if you used the same weight for all antacids instead? a the same antacid would be the most effective, but it would take a different amount of acid to reach its buffering capacity b a different antacid would be found to be the most effective c there would be no change in the results

Explanation:

Antacids work by neutralizing stomach acid. Calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide are strong antacids with high buffering capacity. Changing the dose - related factor (from recommended dose to same weight) can change the effectiveness as different antacids have different molar masses and reactivity rates.

Answer:

First question: E. Calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide
Second question: B. A different antacid would be found to be the most effective
